Nope... There is no cure except a faraday. But as soon as you take it out they ping you again.

Someone at work told me that their 5G phone can be pinged even when it's in a faraday bag (he called the phone in the bag and it rang), but that faraday bags work on 4G and lower phones (LTE).

Most “commercial” ‘Faraday bags’...
Aren’t.
Thy have at best slightly conductive Mylar or similar lining inside regular fabric. Maybe cut 20% of rf, if you are lucky.

I make my own with a fine copper mesh lining... And THAT goes into a steel letter sized box.

I had not heard that, thank you! But it makes sense. 5G is a shorter wave length with more power output so there would be some differences.
