Red ball with a 1 - what is it and is there a fix?

this appears on ID in System Preferences AND on my dock at system.


There are no updates in App Store. Updating on ID is circular and returns me to the same screen.



This is occurring on a 2012 MacBook Pro on MacOS Catalina 15.7.5


Thank you, Tom

I was entering my pw in and around payment methods then prompted

to sign in again to iCloud - whereupon the red ball disappeared from

my ID! thank you VikingOSX for the prompt! All is well now . . .
