Unable to turn off Do Not Disturb on Mac - OS 15.2

I can turn on Do Not Disturb, but sometimes I want to turn it off before its scheduled time. I have found this article - Turn a Focus on or off on Mac - Apple support (MM) (it's the Burmese site for some reason), but following the steps hasn't worked for me.




MacBook Air, macOS 15.2
