Set my alarm last night for 10:00 in the morning. Alarm this morning does not go off at 10:00 in the morning. Also does not go off at 11:00 in the morning. Goes off at 10:42 in the morning. How? ๐Ÿคฃ

๐Ÿคจ that is so unusual right? If I actually had somewhere important to go today, I could have missed it! Very scary that this could happen again, and yet I'm not really sure what caused it.

Has anyone else experienced this issue before?

It might have been a glitch caused by the time change but since the time change was at 2:00 a.m., the phone/alarm should have had plenty of time to adjust for the change.  This is partially the reason it takes place at 2 a.m. instead of midnight. I recommend that the next time you have an important event that occurs on or around the time change, you set multiple alarms, one at the desired time, one an hour ahead and one an hour later.  You can make a softer sound for the early alarm, so if you are not ready to wake up yet, it won't disrupt your sleep too much.  You can also buy a cheap analog alarm clock at the dollar store and use it for just those occasions - that way there is no automatic time change involved to confuse the alarm.

Possibly snoozed it, or was in silent

That very well could be possible, but I don't know if there's any way that we would ever be sure what caused the issue, and also that is really good advice. Thank you.๐Ÿ™‚
