ignoring a SMART error?

I've got an old SSD which proxmox flags with an error and mails out daily

Device: /dev/sdb [SAT], Failed SMART usage Attribute: 183 Unknown_Phison_Attr.

Turns out this error for this particular disk is the number of times it's had to drop it's SATA speed to 3 from 6mbs - which is likely because it's been in several old machines and also a USB drive enclosure in it's life.

I'd quite like to shut the error up - only mildly annoying but as I now what it is - but can't see how - I've tweaked smartd.conf by uncommenting this and adding -I 183 to ignore the attribute - but it doesn't work :(

Ideas appreciated!

DEVICESCAN -d removable -n standby -m root -M exec /usr/share/smartmontools/smartd-runner

# Alternative setting to ignore temperature and power-on hours reports
# in syslog.
DEVICESCAN -I 194 -I 231 -I 9 -I 183
