Last night (and previous nights) my Google Home would play white noise for hours and hours after the command ‘play white noise’ but all of a sudden it won’t play for longer than 1 hour - for no reason.

It’s a nightmare as it keeps my baby asleep. Desperately needing to fix this so it continues to be hours (12 hours I think it’s supposed to be)

Is this a bug? I have changed nothing. It even does a count down on my Google Home app now. Stressful!

Hello Zoe Barnett,

I understand your concern, that is definitely an odd issue that is occurring! I would be more than happy to help find a solution.

I just wanted to confirm, have you tried to reboot and Factory Data Reset all of your affected devices?

A factory reset will reset your Google Nest or Home speaker or display to its default factory settings. Note: This action will clear your data from the device and can't be undone.

I look forward to your response, thanks for your patience.

Still doesn't work even after publicly saying they fixed it. I'm going to have to buy a separate machine for my baby. How disappointing! Why change something that isn't broken??
