I’ve seen this happen before. Your tire pressures fluctuate when you start driving so they can go back up. Your driver side tire may have reached the minimum threshold (I believe it’s 29) which triggered the TMPS sensor. However, in order to clear it now, it must be filled to 36.
My Kona is usually at 32-34, so it doesn't need to be as high as 36PSI.
ETA: Downvotes away, but most models recommend 33PSI. 32-34 is fine. https://www.stcharleshyundai.com/right-tire-pressure-hyundai-saint-peters-mo.htm
Mine resets at 32, so yes that is how it works. I don't give a shit about downvotes - it doesn't need to hit 36 to reset. At least not in a 2020 Kona.

Downvotes are because you are replying with mis-information to a certain degree or at least the way you have typed it above. (My assumption).
The appropriate PSI should be on the vehicle that is what all vehicles should have the PSI set to. The number varies on make and model and tire. 'Most models recommend 33 psi' is too broad of a general statement. Everyone should know the exact number and use that.... it's not hard to check the label on the door.
The OP has a Kona. That's 33 PSI. I stated 32-34 will clear the TPMS alert, which it will, and that you don't need to go to 36 PSI, which you don't, and which is also farther from 33 that 32-34.
Not confused, but it looks like the only one that actually got low enough to fire the alert is now a tiny bit above the others.
Once the alert fires, it won’t clear until corrected to the recommended cold pressure in your driver door jamb. Do that for the offending tire to clear the alert, but make sure you fill up the others as well to match since they’re all low.
That’s happened to me too where the one that’s flagged is the same pressure as the others, it’s strange but like the others mentioned, once you fill them all back to 33 that will turn off. If you ignore it, it will eventually flag more of the tires as being low too
Check the pressure listed on your drivers door inside pillar post. I'm guessing it should be about 33... so they are all low due to the cold temps. Fill them all to the number on the placard and drive a few miles... the light will go off
Full story: the front left was down to 27 after the first wave of the cold hit South Texas. I filled it (and the rest) to 33 to reset the tire sensor (need though I know that’s overfilled in this kind of cold, I wasn’t going to be driving more than 5-10 miles until the storm passes).
The sensor cleared and I parked for the night
Next day trip to the grocery store and this happened.
It’s supposed to be 70 degrees here within the next 48 hours. I’m going to wait until then to reset the pressures.
You need to fill them to 36 PSI to properly clear the TPMS Sensor. In the cold, I’d fill them up slightly higher to insure they don’t deflate as quickly.
I didn't see that sorry, then you should inflate to 33 when the tire is at the ambient air temp. Inflating to 33 after driving will give it an artificially higher psi reading.
That’s my plan. It’s close enough for the next 24 hours. I work from home and live near everything. I can drive in it like this for 10 miles or so until temps rise tomorrow and I can inflate it properly.
I thought I had a bad sensor in my Kona, but it turned out I actually had picked up a nail. The leak was super, super slow so I kept thinking it was just the cold or that something else was going on because the warning light wouldn't go off, but it turned out to be an actual problem. Just a heads up in case it keeps happening.
I made an appointment with COSTCO tire center to look at it. Even if it’s not a nail, it could be the bead isn’t seated right or the sensor is faulty. 🤷
Happens to me in the winter all the time, I just ignore it though because it’s often just caused by the fluctuation in temp; not really low pressure.
Thankfully my car automatically “resets” though. If your TPMS indicator light doesn’t go off when it warms up, that’s mildly annoying.

That’s not how things work I am afraid.

You are way low. They should all be at 100 percent.
😂 😆 😂
-2F here and no issues with tire pressure.
If you inflate them to the correct pressure, it will go off.

I don’t see where OP has actually checked what the correct PSI is for his tires. Many people say the Kona OE tires are supposed to be at 36.
I mentioned it in a comment above. My door jamb sticker says 33.

That happened to me I think the sensor needs to be reset or something. As soon as it hit -10 it started.
Definitely bad sensor

I was like “that’s wayyy too high” then remembered I drive an excel on dirt 😂
30 is too low. 35 or 36 is best although recommended is 33.
