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.

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
seriously it is unfathomable how intelligent people would make a change for the worse. Is this just people trying to justify their jobs by doing SOMETHING, even if it's vastly worse? I LIVE by my calendar alerts and have MANY and snooze all day long. I can't be snoozing every single one every 15 minutes.
Oh and the new alert layout sucks and is annoying. Just leave well enough alone, Apple!
I cannot understand WHY they would remove this - I use this ALL THE TIME, and it's the only way I remember what I'm doing. They'd better re-instate this very soon or I shall not be using Calendar any more - which will be a major problem. Very disappointed.
EXACTLY! What purpose is there to remove features?? If I can't start using my calendar properly, I'll switch to MS Office. If I'm switching to that, then I start to wonder why I need an Apple computer at all?? Apple, I really hope you're listening.
Not only should they fix this in Big Sur back to the way it used to be...they should make it so that iOS can also have a variable snooze. IMO, this has been a glaring omission in iOS...and now in Big Sur!!
Unfortunately I can't go back to Catalina as my Intel-based MacBook Pro (7y old) stopped working last week and I've upgraded to an M1-based MacBook Air, which doesn't run Catalina!!! Argh!
This change is just so BAD, WHY would they remove it? It's not in anyone's way, it's not over complicated... WHY?!!
For so many reasons I want to switch to Office for Mac. The biggest reason holding me back is actually a feature missing from Mail. In Outlook for Mac, you cannot have an automatic spell check before sending an email. It red lines potential misspellings but doesn't actually give you the prompts like Apple mail does or Outlook for PC. I am so used to that function, I think my emails would be scary without it.
Not only is the new snooze a nightmare but the email notifications **** too. Why can't I one click delete instead of having to open a secondary options menu to do that? Everything about notifications in Catalina was *vastly* superior to Big Sur. It also is a downgrade on iOS 14.
Surely there must be a fix?

IMHO, 1) they don't want to be bothered with the feature because it's free with the computer os, 2) Makes devs happy since you have to buy their apps 3) "Giving" devs something for the cut they take in the App Store. Frustrating. Not like Apple is struggling financially to justify this - just my feeling. They might be awash in cash, but I'm sure many of their customers aren't!
This really can't be an oversight by Apple imo. IMO it was removed for other reasons which probably involve needing to purchase another program to retain this feature. It's extremely frustrating because so many of us used it for very important things such as medication. Apple really needs to FIX IT!
I do. And I've noticed. I'm not willing to part ways with my iPhone, but I'm 90% sure I'm not going to be buying any more iMac or MacBook Pros anymore. I'm tired of them doing stuff like this. I can edit using Premiere on a PC and I'll also have access to every game on Steam and MS Game Pass. I don't see any reason, any longer, to pay a premium price for something that doesn't do the most basic thing - snooze a calendar reminder (amongst other things).

Apple support docs suggest it works, even for Big Sur, but it doesn't. Why don't they acknowledge this bug and fix it.
Here we are, December 8, and the issue is still an issue. I'm only adding my voice because I'm hoping with enough attention this will finally get fixed. I can't imagine why anyone would think it was a good idea to remove the options for different snooze times. I'm sure it was just a bug. I like Apple, I mostly trust Apple. Please come through for us, Apple.
another problem I've noticed is with iMessage--often times I hit return to send it and it doesn't actually send. I've had probably 8 texts I've sent via iMessage that never got sent, and I only discover it after I go to send another text to that person and see they never got the last one.
Please bring back the snooze durations. There was no reason to change this and it was obviously popular as you can see here. It should be an easy fix and you can push it out in an update. Let's go. Chop, chop. Thanks!
Wait? This can't be true. It must be a bug. Hopefully, Apple can fix it soon.
I still see this in online instructions for snooze:
"To dismiss the alert for another time period, click and hold Snooze, then choose an option."
