Same here. However, I definitely have never had Enhanced mode enabled
(except while testing this). And, both times I saw ads in Classic mode,
they appeared first thing in the morning, when the computer had just
been resumed from sleep. So I hypothesize there is some kind of
scheduling there[1], and it won't request every time.

(Also, the tiles.services.mozilla.com request is not done every time
a tab opens in enhanced mode; there's scheduling/caching there too.)
