How do you snooze calendar notifications more than the default 5 min?
In Catalina, you could long-press the Snooze button and get a choice as to how long the notification was snoozed. I tried it in Big Sur and I don't get the list.
iMac 27″, macOS 10.13
No, the manual just says that if the notification has the Options button, click Options then click Snooze. There is no option to long-press Snooze to get different snooze durations. They used to have long-pressing Snooze to get different durations in the Calendar documentation for Big Sur, but they changed the documentation shortly after 11.1 was released. They have removed references to long-pressing which tells you that it isn't a bug; they actually removed the ability to get different snooze durations. Do NOT expect to see it come back with the next release. If you want to see that ability to come back, file Feedback with Apple as they do not check this forum. This forum is strictly user-to-user support. Here is where you can file Feedback: https://www.apple.com/feedback/calendar.html
They definitely do read it, they just don't care. Say something they really don't like and watch your post be censored within minutes. It's truly outrageous how badly they've broken such a common sense feature. You can try the feedback form, but they don't care about that either, you won't even get a reply. Apple is really not a good company with good UI anymore.

I left some feedback and I indicated that I believe the previous snooze function with options for 30 minutes, two hours, etc., should be considered an accessibility. There are people who have memory deficits who rely on it to make sure they get to their appointments, etc.
I think that's a very good way of explaining it.

Forum moderation isn't the same thing as collecting feedback.
Exactly. The Hosts, who moderate this forum, don't have the time to collect feedback. It's a very busy forum and there aren't very many of them.
I have now sent several messages about this. I hope they have now reached the right spot. However, what is the point of this forum if Apple don’t take any notice. Just means we grumble amongst ourselves and they just ignore the comments that are made.

Butt what I do not understand, do Tim Cook and all the others not use Calendar themselves? They certainly should experience the same misery. They probably do not manage their own agenda, otherwise it would be resolved in a heartbeat.
can someone please help me unsubscribe to this? I have tried by clicking "following" and it then appears as if I'm not following it but I'm still getting every response on this and I really don't want to keep receiving these in my emails all day long. thanks!
@lenir17 - I just see the normal dialog box edit the appointment. You can change the alert time there, but I don't see any snooze options. To be clear - do you see the option to snooze by say 2h? If so, how did you get to it?
I just updated to BIG SUR and have received a new upgrade to it. Will this upgrade cure the very irritable snooze option of continuous advises? Whoever changed how SNOOZE worked in Catalina never uses CALENDAR.
I lost the post from the person who said we could just click on the notification, then go to the event in the calendar app, and you can do extended snooze times from there. Could that person please Re-post. I want to make sure I understood what he (she) said in that post so I can try it.
Remains the question, why did they remove it? You have to actively do something to remove existing functionality. We can call on to restore (we probably all did, which is perfect). But if we know what drives it, we can probably argue more directly with arguments and reason, which should have more impact, shouldn't it?

Maybe, as macOS Big Sur introduces changes in the way the notifications work, they just thought the feature was useless and they didn't have to keep it with Big Sur. But we have to let them know that this feature is in fact very useful (and used by lots of users) by sending feedbacks (see my post above).

It is unlikely that we will ever be able to get that information. Apple doesn't talk about things like that.
Not at all ! It works for both beta software but also released software. That's a more direct way to tell Apple what you think, and with FA you can also add screenshots. But as it is more complete, it is basically only accessible to developpers, Appleseed members and public beta program members, but once you are registered you are able to send feedbacks even if you don't currently run a beta software.

It is intended for beta software use. The link I gave is where you should be submitting feedback for released software and hardware.
reply to IdrisSeabright: I registered with Beta and filed a report under Big Sur. I was surprised that the receipt confirmation I received from Apple stated: “Recent similar reports: None.”
Really? The title of the entry was “Snooze function for Calendar Alert Notifications.”
