 Do you perform any actions that might trigger it being deactivated? I
 haven't been able to find any.

 There are two code branches that touch this user meta:
  - The notifications admin, in the save_settings action, protected by a
 nonce
  - The email unsubscribe links, which I've verified to be unique per-user,
 but disable ALL of the matcher notification emails (via this checkbox) not
 just the specific matcher phrase which the email relates to.

 To be clear, your account or the notifications account?
