Free space remaining alert for volume Recovery

TechTool Pro 9.6.3 posted a TechTool Protection Alert warning me that "The volume 'Recovery' has 12% free space remaining." It also advised me that "The Volume Usage threshold for this volume is configured in the TechTool Protection system preference."

This alert appears to reflect a bug in TechTool Pro. The volume "Recovery" mentioned in the alert is presumably the recovery volume on my startup drive. The startup volume is named "MP", not "Recovery". "Recovery" does NOT appear in the TechTool Pro system preference, contrary to the alert. Furthermore, while the startup volume "MP" does appear there, its Free Space Warning Threshold is set to 10%, so it should not be generating an alert if 12% free space remains. Because the system Preference doesn't list that volume, I cannot get rid of the warning alert because I cannot set a Free Space Warning Threshold for the volume "Recovery". I am not willing to uncheck the volume "MP" for a Free Space Warning because I want to know when it gets below 10% (and I don't know that unchecking "MP" would remove the alert for volume "Recovery", anyway, since TTP thinks, correctly, that "Recovery" is a different volume).

The startup drive is an internal APFS SSD in my Mac Pro (Late 2013) running macOS High Sierra 10.13.4).
