data usage alert notification won't go away?

I got a data usage alert that I had reached a particular data limit.  No issues there, but now, I can't get rid of the icon in the notification bar? I've rebooted several times and this thing still will NOT swipe away. Help please?

Is it a Verizon notification or one displayed from the phone if you have data limits set within the Data Use area of Mobile Data in the phones main settings menu?

I am glad you got the data notification! We never want you to go over. Now let's make sure you can remove that message.  What is the make/model of the phone? Have you tried selecting clear all on the notification tab?

Hard to say; it says "cellular data limit exceeded", and if you press and hold the notification it changes to "Android System".   I've changed the data limits via the phone settings, changed them in My Verizon, and also force stopped "Android System" and rebooted the phone several times.  It keeps coming back.

Sounds to me like it is Android related and at least it isnt a Verizon notification.

the phone is an HTC One M8, and there is no "clear all" option on the notification bar.

I have the same issue as well on an HTC One M8 with Android 5.0.1. I called HTC support and all they could suggest was a factory reset. 😞

After my post in April, the notification went away on its own after the billing period started over on the 23rd.  I then disabled any alerts about data usage and disabled any limits, both within the phone Settings and thru My Verizon. 

Here it is, 5/20/15, two days before the billing period is to end (5/23).  The notification has returned, although i have selected no alerts, and set no limits.  Data usage is only at 50%.
