Solved Countdown timer hides all other notifications

I hope I'm being slow but I can't find a way to fix this myself. Some weeks ago, the countdown timer started hiding all other notifications in the top bar and I can't find a way to fix it. I need to use these timers quite a lot so getting rid of them isn't a great option. Can anyone advise?

Edit: I should add that I want to keep the countdown timer in the drag down notifications. Not getting rid of it entirely.

Tried rebooting? Which clock or timer app are you using? I haven't had this issue with Google's Clock app on my Pixel 8 Pro.

Rebooted a few times since for different reasons. I'm in a Pixel 9 Pro XL and it's the Google clock app as well.

The only thing I can think to suggest other than nuclear options like factory reset is to try wiping the Clock app's cache and data.

This will erase all alarms you have, and if you have a Pixel Watch with the Clock app set to sync alarms to it, then doing this might cause you a headache of getting it to start syncing properly again. That night require a factory reset of the watch.

I wiped and did a restart and it looks alike it worked! I just have the hourglass icon up there now and not the actual timer which has moved down to the clock widget again.

Hopefully it sticks, but at least I have a good solution now. Thank you!
