 Options specify the behavior that you want the rule to enforce. For information about configuring options, see [Option format](language-rules.md#option-format).
 
+> [!NOTE]
+> Setting a severity in the format `option_name = value:severity` doesn't apply to the `dotnet_remove_unnecessary_suppression_exclusions` option and should be avoided. Instead, specify the severity using a separate entry, for example:
+>
+> ```ini
+> dotnet_remove_unnecessary_suppression_exclusions = none
+> dotnet_diagnostic.IDE0079.severity = warning
