Why does my phone alarm not register unless it is set to go off outside the next two hours?

Android Central Question

Weird issue here. I have a Ulefone Power 5 with android 8.1. I use the inbuilt alarm app on this. It worked like it should for the first three weeks but suddenly my alarms didn't go off for three days in a row.

After some experimentation I have figured out what is happening but not why. If I set an alarm to go off three hours from now, the alarm notefication icon just blinks once and disappears and the alarm doesn't go off. It's like the phone does not register it at all. But, if I set the alarm to go off within the next two hours, the icon stays there and the alarm goes off like normal.

I have checked the do not disturb settings, turned off battery optimization for this app, checked the volume, but everything seems in order. What's on earth can be causing this and how can I fix it.
