🐞 Describe the bug

I got a notification while on a flight that ntfy server is unreachable for 15 minutes. Of course it is, the notification is useless. It's accompanied with a very intense vibration that feels like an emergency alert. The notification only makes sense if the server should be reachable but it's not.

💻 Components impacted

Android app

💡 Screenshots and/or logs

🔮 Additional context

Airplane mode was on, no data, no WiFi, no Bluetooth. There was no internet and no chance of internet, and I was perfectly aware because I turned it off when I got on the flight.

+1000
I switch my phone to airplane mode when I go to bed, so this is not very helpful.
