How do I set the alarm duration on the default clock app?

Hi everyone,

I have a problem where the alarm on my Google Pixel phone is dismissed after about 10 minutes of ringing, causing me to miss my alarm.

Is there a way to make the alarms ring indefinitely, or at least for 1 hour before it's automatically dismissed?

If a 10 minute alarm time isn't enough to wake you up, you might wanna either put down the drugs, turn up the volume, or go see a sleep doctor.

For me it's in the alarm settings, but I'm on lineage. If it isn't there, I'd consider getting a different alarm app.

Can confirm, it's there in the stock Pixel ROM

What do the three dots do? Settings settings?

Haha I didn't even notice it. But you made me realize how incredibly inconsistent the feedback "button" is in the used-to-be-AOSP apps

Clock has it in the three dot menu on the main screen AND in the three dot menu in settings
Phone only has it in the main three dot menu, but it's completely missing from settings (oh and the Settings->Accessibility screen ignores Material You colors for some reason)
Contacts has a decoy three dots menu that only contains Select and Select all buttons, the feedback option is hiding in the account switcher (and is once again missing from settings)
Messages once again hides the feedback button in the account switcher, but it doesn't have a three dots menu so it makes sense. No feedback in settings
Calculator has it in the three dots menu and doesn't have any further settings
and finally, Camera: tap the quick settings button, tap More settings, scroll to the bottom and boom, the feedback button.

I know this is completely useless information, but I was curious and thought it would be a shame to just forget my findings 5 minutes later

I mean, I'm not a fan of the iOS UX, but I feel like they're doing pretty good with consistency, and would like it if the system app Devs took a slice of inspiration from that (though not necessarily everything else).

Huh. Dunno how I feel about layered three dot menus.

It is in settings named as silence after in Alarms section and actually it have a never option.
