Running Ventura 13.1 on a MacBook Pro, and getting an orange dot to the right of the time. I'm used to the orange dot near control center when I record, but not at the far right. How do I find out what it means?

Looks to me from your screen shot —Siri is on
"An orange dot next to the icon indicates the microphone on your Mac is in use; you can see which apps are using it at the top of Control Center."

FWIW, It appears to be a temporary glitch fixed by restarting. I don't believe there's anything more to it than that.
@leroydouglas Thanks for the reply. I'm familiar with the dot near control center but not at the far right. I did not have Siri on. I did reboot and it went away, but tested tapping the Siri icon and the dot appeared next to Control Center as expected, not at the far right:
OK, that makes sense :) Thanks.
You're welcome. :)
