Elderly relative needed to take a pill 4x daily, including in the middle of the night. Every day. It was a repeating alarm set for 2:30.
We slept through it and they missed the pill. Not ideal.
Comment on Or does and doesn't care?

If an alarm is set for a time doesn’t exist, I expect a big warning on the Lock Screen that there’s a problem so I can fix it. Or set the alarm off early assuming that it’s better to be early than late for whatever it was.
Both are better than silent failure.
