Looking at the code we do have a check for showing the outdated version message only one time (per version).

f76a07c3cf/packages/loot-core/src/client/update-notification.js (L13)

However, the update notification is not "sticky". It is shown only one time. If you refresh the page - it will no longer show up.

I wonder if we should change that.. to show the update notification forever until a user explicitly clicks on "dismiss".
