“Time to leave” notification from Calendar is 15 minutes early — can I change this?

When I set a “time to leave” notification for an event in Calendar, the app notifies me 15 minutes *before* I need to leave (and often multiple times, even while I am on my way to the event.) Is there any way to change this?

iPhone 13 mini, iOS 16

Disabling time sensitive notifications for specific calendars I'm on iOS 16.6 and I have several work calendars that I'm subscribed to on my phone. While it's important that I have access to check and use these calendars I don't need to have them displayed in the app all the time. The calendar app lets me untick/uncheck the subscribed calendars I don't want to see, and that works well for the most part - it removes the all the events for that subscribed calendar from the app (though sometimes unchecked calendars get re-checked and I don't know why) The issue I have though is that even when a subscribed calendar is uncheked, I still get Time-Sensitive notifications for its events. For example, if there is a meeting at a location in the city on one of these work calendars, and I have that calendar unchecked in the app, I will still get the "TIME SENSITIVE" notification telling me it will take X amount of time to travel to the event location. This is really confusing and frustrating because I will usually check my calendar in the morning to find out what's ahead for me in the day, and then get panicked by a notification saying I have an upcoming meeting I was not expecting, and then that meeting does not appear in my calendar (as I have that particular subscribed calendar unchecked) Is there anything that can be done about this? The Time-Sensitive notifications are a good feature but it's not helpful to receive these notifications for events from calendars I do not have active in the calendar app. Unsubscribing from these calendars would not be a solution as I do need to have access them to them ad-hoc, so simply toggling between viewing them through the check/uncheck function enables this.

Time to Leave alerts hours early For the last month or so, the “time to leave” alerts are popping up on my iPhone 13 many hours early. For instance, for an appointment at a destination that is 15 minutes away, I’ll get an alert 3.5 hours ahead saying it will take 3 hours and 19 minutes to arrive and I should leave now. When I click on the address in the event, I get a correct map with accurate location, destination, and travel time. Thoughts on how to get my calendar to recognize the same info?

Time to Leave Alert I set a calendar event and set the second alert to time to leave. The event comes and goes and I never get any alert. I do have location based alerts on as well in my privacy settings. I don’t know if it’s a calendar setting or not but this alert never really seemed to work correctly.
