Siri does not set alarm

Hi, I have an issue since updating to iOS16.2:

Siri does not set an alarm anymore. After the request Siri asks for patience and finally does not set the alarm. This was never an issue on previous iOS versions.

I tested if it was an issue on all Siri requests, but it is not: when I ask Siri to bring me to another city, Maps is started and a route is created. So, (I think) it is not a 'full' Siri issue.

Since the connected Apple Watch 7 was still on watchOS8.??, I updated the watch to watchOS9.2, but this did not solve the issue. Siri still won't set an alarm.

Does anybody have an idea what I can do to resolve this?

I don't want to reset the phone and start over...

Resetting and putting back the back-up is an option, but that will not remove this Siri issue...

Or is there an option to only reset Siri?

iPhone XS Max, iOS 16
