Thanks for the screenshot hspindel - much appreciated.

While you can't dismiss this notification for ever as long as you're over quota, you should be able to click on the 'remind me later' option to close it temporarily and/or even free up some  space  to avoid getting it in the first place. 

I know it's not much, but I hope this helps.
