I'm left wondering if it's different then in UK/Europe perhaps.

Sounds daft but due to EU pressures on DJI the limits were removed, I believe, in January this year.

Yep, quick double check.
From January 2024 the majority of the geofencing has been removed for UK/Europe.

I have personally see a DJI mavic 3 flown within a UK ATZ after simply cancelling the alert warning.


An Enhanced Warning Zone is a circular area that extends 2 km outwards from the perimeter of an Authorization Zone. When a drone is approaching this area from the outside, the DJI GO app will issue a warning. Users must then confirm that they wish to continue flying.
