Teams has too many notifications, and too many types of notifications

Thank you, randomtechguy. I see I am not completely alone in this world. Since mine is the first empathetic response in the nine or so months since your post, there's not much hope for either of us, though. There should also be a method for thinning legitimate notices. If I don't have chat notifications turned on, I may not see a chat message for hours or more. If, on the other hand, a fast typist takes three messages of one or two words to convey the simplest of thoughts while others are also actively participating, I have to completely exit teams for several hours to simmer down. Can't there be a notification limiter? perhaps no more than one per minute? five minutes? fifteen minutes? When I get irritated should be my choice, not some twenty-something junior teammate who thinks pay raises are based on message count rather than quality output.
