Alexa can no longer adjust timers now?

I cook 99% of my meals for medical reasons.

Alexa has been crucial to help with this, setting multiple simultaneous timers hand-free, being able to add or subtract time to individual timers with no problem.

For 10ish years ...

Me: Alexa set a timer for 1 hour

Alexa: Timer set for one hour.

Me (2 minutes later): Alexa, subtract 10 minutes from the timer.

Alexa: 10 minutes subtracted. You now have 48 minutes left on your 50-minute timer.

As of two days ago, Alexa changed accents and now has a much "muddier" sound quality, which is annoying, but I'll live with it.

Now ...

Me: Alexa, subtract 10 minutes from the timer.

Alexa: beeps once, doesn't subtract the 10 minutes

Repeated requests fail.

It has lost the ability to add or subtract time on a timer.

This really, really sucks.

Does anyone know of an alternate voice-activated kitchen timer?
