Hi Matt

Which kind of calendar are you using?

I have seen this many times with EWS (particularly noticeable with
recurring events), so I can confirm it does happen as stated (unless it
has been fixed on a newer version than the old one I'm usually seeing
it at)
However, restarting evolution-data-server, evolution-calendar-factory
or even the whole machine won't make a difference.

evolution 3.46 will have some fixes regarding reminders, see
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/evolution-data-server/-/issues/234 but
I'm not sure if it will solve this issue.
