What

The prompt that sends you to System Settings for Accessibility or Screen Recording now records when you refuse and checks that record before prompting again, so dismissing it should stop it pushing you back into System Settings.

Details
  • Two conditions suppress it: a recent refusal, and an ambient check on the current context.
  • It also takes an accepts predicate and does nothing when that returns false.
Evidence

Open System Settings → Screen Recording

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
