I get a notification that a package has an update, but when I attempt to upgrade I am met with "Cannot refresh cache whilst offline" in Discover...
Clearly, there is a semantic difference between "offline" in the context of Discover and updating packages and the context of whether or not one is connected to the internet (which I consider to be "online", the converse of "offline")
So, how does one achieve "NOT offline" status, whatever that actually means?

Something to do with your Network Manager configuration maybe?
What happens if you stop it? Does the "refresh cache notification whilst offline" notification persist?
For example, on my Bullseye server the commands would be:
Then update and upgrade?
NM can then be restarted with:
Check status with:

No non-free or contrib packages installed on debian! rms would be proud.

Have not yet run into the "offline" headache again, but I modified the script I use to update and upgrade so that I have the OPTION of stopping and re-starting NetworkManager.service if required... THANKS for the tip!
