    It’s the same way with phones. I was late for work once because my phone decided to update in the middle of the night and turn off my alarms

      Try setting your alarm for the hour that’s skipped during the spring time change and see if Google thinks that was alarm was important to you or just shouldn’t exist.

        Well, what do you expect to happen if you set an alarm in an hour that doesn’t exist? I mean, the UI shouldn’t allow that, but if you know about that time switch and proceed to set the alarm then anyway, that’s on you.

          If an alarm is set for a time doesn’t exist, I expect a big warning on the Lock Screen that there’s a problem so I can fix it. Or set the alarm off early assuming that it’s better to be early than late for whatever it was.

          Both are better than silent failure.

          Elderly relative needed to take a pill 4x daily, including in the middle of the night. Every day. It was a repeating alarm set for 2:30.

          We slept through it and they missed the pill. Not ideal.
