I previously scheduled auto shutdown for 1:00 am every day in settings on my iMac. Now there is no place in settings to cancel this. The iMac tries to shutdown at night when I'm in the midst of a prolonged task. Where do I go to cancel to auto shutdown? OS Ventura 13.1.
iMac 27″, macOS 13.1

The user interface is now through the Terminal.app only
Schedule your Mac to turn on or off in Terminal - Apple Support
copy and paste:
sudo pmset repeat cancel
note: your psswd will not echo on screen type it in anyway, use the enter\return key to proceed. Quit Terminal.

Thanks for the tip. I don't know why Apple deleted a simple setting and now requires a complicated process to perform a simple task. I've used Macs since 1985 and this seems like a retrograde downgrade.
