Sleep timer on Alexa

I created a “good night” routine where Alexa would play sleep Station radiofor 30 minutes. Something updated and now the timer part doesn’t work and Alexa just plays music all night. Any ideas? Also, The sleep timer setting on Pandora is a pain to get to.

Hi there, @dmartinez66. 👋

Based on your message, it sounds like you're using an Alexa sleep timer to turn off audio / dim the lights while you fall asleep after a set amount of time. 

I checked in with our Device team about this issue. I reported this to our engineering team on your behalf. In the meantime, I would recommend reaching out to the Amazon support team for further help. 

Feel free to post your update on this thread in case other listeners experience a similar issue. 

Thanks so much for posting on the Pandora Community! :pandora:

I want to report the same problem.  Worked fine for years and then stopped working about a month ago.  Now it plays all night even though duration timer is set for 1 hour.

Same issue here. Setting routine in Alexa with Amazon Music and timer and it stops after time set.

Same exact routine using Pandora instead and music plays all night instead of stopping.
