“Ghost” Automation Rule

I have some unknown "ghost" automation/rule that automatically arms my alarm every day at a specific window of time (midnight). Meaning the alarm will automatically arm everyday on its own. This happens even though I don’t have any automations or rules scheduled to arm the system. I’ve added a midnight arm rule and deleted it but still have the “ghost” automation happening. Please advise.

Greetings, thank you for taking the time out of your day to leave a post. I can see how frustrating it can be with the alarm system arming without you doing so. I see you stated you set a rule for the same time and deleted it, but that did not work. Have you tried logging out of the app and uninstalling it, then reinstalling it to see if that would remove the ghost function?
