Do Alarms Turn Off Automatically After a Long Period of Time?

Here's the story. I went to a vacation overseas but still would like to receive sms. So I left my old phone back home with my sim and setup an sms forwarding stuff that automatically sends all my received sms to my email. (using Tasker and AutoMail since I already use those).

Unfortunately, I forgot to turn off my weekday alarm. I was wondering if the alarm turns off after some time that it wasn't dismissed (an hour? half a day? etc.) because I'm worried that my neighbor (we live in a condo) would go nuts if my phone is ringing 24/7 while I'm away.

Phone is on Android 10, LG G7 ThinQ, and the alarm app is Sleep As Android.

You're using sleep as android

OP could've changed the settings according to the docs to repeat backup alarms with that app :)

RIP their neighbour.

Fun tidbit? I have a Cubot King Kong Pro (yes, it's called that) which has the old Nokia feature of actually turning the phone on if its off to sound a scheduled alarm. I left my Cubot in my locker at work and it wasn't until I got back in a week or so later did my locker neighbour tell me about my locker, making funny sounds....I have "Fuck You Mr Garrison" as one of my alarm tones.

Ooops.
