Calendar notification snooze in Big Sur?

We just installed Big Sur on our iMacs. Now when we get calendar notifications, we only have an option that says "snooze", with no option to select how long we want to snooze it for. This is really annoying and much less helpful than before, when we had multiple options (1 hour, 1 day, etc.). Are we just missing something here? Is there a way around this? (Note: we've tried clicking and holding "snooze", but no options come up when we do that.) Sure would love some help with this. Thanks.

iMac 21.5″, macOS 11.0

It is a headache but there is a way ... not all intuitive, though. On the notification, hover the cursor/arrow above the Options button. The date will change to a >. Click on the >. Snooze options will pop up.

That said ... one of the things that has kept me as a Mac user for 30+ years is the intuitive interface. I know Apple can do better with this feature.

Is it a wish or a promise? ;-)

Great that the programmers are listening, but how about bringing the choices back AS THEY WERE, that is - with more choices. Or allow the user to set a specific time for being reminded again.

Also I miss the 1 day, 2 days option. I used that a lot. I set the notify a few days in advance to get reminded of the event coming up soon. Then I snooze it 1 day to get reminded the next day a.s.o.
