Direct "Stop" Command without "Ok/Hey Google" do not work

[ChrisLee19]

In the last few month if there was a music playing or an alarm/timer ringing, I can directly say "Stop" without saying the "Ok/Hey Google" Command and the music/alarm/timer will stop. Suddenly in the past few days that command do not work. Is there an update that change this command?

Devices where I have use the "Stop" command: 

1. Google Hub Max
2. Google Nest Audio
3. Google Nest Wifi Point

Hey ChrisLee19,

Thanks for reaching out.

You can turn off a timer or an alarm without saying, “Hey Google.” Just say, “Stop.” This is available on all Google Nest and Home speakers and displays in English-speaking countries. Have you tried reinstalling your Google Home app? 

Try rebooting your Google Nest devices and router to refresh the connection. If the issue persists, try resetting one of your device and see if that helps.

Let us know how it goes.

Best,

Alex

Thank for the response, didn't get to try your solution, because a few days later the Stop command worked without the " Hey Google" as usual.
