Why can't I turn off my timer alarm on macOS Sonoma?

HERE IS A WORKAROUND FOR NOW. dont restart your computer. just set a 1m timer on the clock app to trigger a new alarm and then close that one, and it will stop. I just want this post to rank on seo so people find it. APPLE fix this bug!


I cannot turn off the Apple Clock timer alarm. When I set the timer (Application: "Clock") on my Macbook Pro (M1 Sonoma 14.1.1), and the time runs down to zero, the alarm comes on, and I cannot turn it off. Sometimes the banner pops up, and when I click on it with my mouse, nothing happens; the alarm keeps ringing. Sometimes, the little banner does not pop up, and the alarm keeps ringing. When I quit the application, nothing happens; the alarm keeps ringing. The only thing that works is restarting the computer (I am going to restart now, because, as I write this...you guessed it). Can any of you folks help?

I don't know why the Notification banner wouldn't open. It always opens for me. In any case, when it does, hover the cursor over the bottom right of the banner, "Options" will appear, click on it and a drop down menu will open with "Stop" as a choice.
