Automation for "Delay Start" not working anymore

This automation used to work but suddenly stopped, and although I've tried adding it again, restarting (both phone and speaker) and changed up the prompts, I can't get it to work. 

I'd like a command where when I say "Tea timer", the speaker waits 5 minutes, then announces "Your tea is ready." I've tried configuring this so that it plays a chime instead of announcing, or plays a chime when I give the prompt before the 5 minute timer. Nothing seems to work. I don't get any announcement. 

I'd prefer not to automate an alarm for this because then I would have to turn it off with a voice command. I just want an announcement after 5 minutes. Is there a way to do this? Am I missing something?

I can't upload a photo so will try and re-create the Automation here. It's a Personal routine since you can't add "Delay Start" to household routines, for some reason.

Starters: When I say to my assistant "Tea Timer"

Actions: After 5 minutes.

Announce "Your tea is ready"

Configuration: Play on Device you speak to
