2024 Autoregen (display)
I have 3700 miles now on the new truck and have not seen a display pop-up for auto regen in progress. My 2016 would let me know on the display that regen was in progress. It did however let me know I was low on DEF. I'm assuming these new models use more DEF since I am already filling up the DEF tank before 5000 miles.

uses more def, notifcations are no longer present.
Since it is an XLT go into settings and maybe you can Un-check the Autoregen box.
If you can then it won't regen without you being prompted. More importantly it wont regen until it is actually needed vs the behind the scene regen based upon miles alone.

From what I have read the '23+ seem to have a completely different regen algorithm compared to previous years. I hear they go into active regen more often and sometimes at low DPF%.

No, there is no message and no way to enable one. The closest to that would be as Senix suggested. Enabling OCR with auto regen check box (Forscan). When auto regen is turned off it will then display a message when full and tell you to clean soon. You then turn auto regen back on and allow a regen. Even without the message you can get an idea of when it's in regen by watching the DPF% screen.

Since the most recent regen, it has stayed at 0% for the last 200 miles.

Because I don't tow my '19 has never done a regen at anytime other than 100%, and also have never had the miles factor come into play.

To use Forscan to turn off auto regen and then drive till I get the message, haul out the computer reattach it start Forscan enable auto regen will take at least the same amount of time and more effort than for the truck to take care of itself. Pg 221, message format is on page 224, of the 23 manual says that you will get a message that the filter is cleaning but I have never seen it.
If the ability to turn on and off the auto regen is of no use to you, cool, I'm not saying anyone should or should not do it. Just one way to get a clear alert on the display when the DPF is full.
Just so you are aware, enabling the auto regen check box only requires the computer and Forscan once. There is no need to hook up the computer to turn it on and off every time , it adds a check box in the gauge menu that you select or deselect at will.
It doesn't sound like you are alone in not seeing that exhaust filter cleaning message. I can't even speculate on why the manual shows it as being a normal message.

Speaking of DEF-related dash displays, a nice enhancement would be adding approx miles to empty on the DEF gauge when it’s selected as one of the 4 top row gauges, similar to miles to empty for fuel (2024 F350)
