Click on the left side of that configuration option (click on the text, not the toggle switch). It will give you the option to make ntfy "unrestricted"

Ah, of course, I am stupid…

But yeah it's also (dark?) pattern-designed to be hard to find, apparently 😅
Maybe you can give some more (direct) hints or dunno? (I once saw some apps showing a toast notification at the bottom to direct people somewhere– dunno whether Android really calls them like that but AFAIK it's that)

This would be the only idea I have.

This was in fact hard to find. I came here to try and figure out what I could've been doing wrong and found this issue. I remember it being a lot easier to do on older Android versions. +1 on adding a toast message of some sort to make it easier for people to figure out. If needed we can open another issue if the maintainers feel it would be better.
