All credit for this discovery should go to Ricci Adams, who told me about it. But Ricci doesn't have a blog, and I do, so here it is. Thank you very much, Ricci, and please start a blog!

Much has already been written about the new monthly screen recording prompt in macOS 15 Sequoia. As always, Michael Tsai has an excellent summary.

The good news is that there's a way to stop the prompts forever. Ricci Adams found the file where the prompt dates are stored.

{
"/Applications/Shottr.app/Contents/MacOS/Shottr" = "2024-09-21 12:40:36 +0000";
}

In the plist file, the keys are the paths of the executable files with screen recording permission, and the values are dates. I'm using the Shottr screenshot tool as an example.
