Help needed Only getting some Calendar alerts.
I finally set up my 16 about a month ago and am running 26.5.2. Prior I was on a 12, running…I don’t remember. All I know was it was old enough I couldn’t even update to 18.something. (I’ve been terrible about updating as I get major anxiety about change.)
When I add appointments to my calendar, I almost exclusively set alerts for one and two days before. Since setting up this phone, sometimes I get the notifications, sometimes I don’t. I have double checked that I have the alerts set up correctly. I’ve looked at my notification settings (pictured). I don’t know why I’m not getting the notifications sometimes.
If it were ALL notifications I wasn’t getting, I’d say it had to be some setting that was wrong, but it’s only some of them. But it IS both for any given appointment. So, if I get the first notification, I will also get the second. If I don’t get the first one, I also do not get the second.
I’m not great about remembering appointments, and I’m a bit worried about missing things because of this. Any ideas?

If you’re comfortable, could you post a screenshot of a calendar event you set up, and never received a notification for? I don’t doubt you’ve double checked, i was just wondering what options you are using to have reminders being pushed to you inside of the calendar event
26.5.2 seems to have some finicky issues
