Computer Help and Support

But I do google sometimes and use computers a lot.

I think you might have hit snooze for notifications from the email application. Designed so that you can get some rest in case you're getting so many email alerts that you're getting stressed or unable to get more important work done.

Here's a writeup on how to use it:

What Is Notification Snoozing in Android 12?

Notification snoozing is a way to silence notifications quickly and easily for a particular application. You can typically snooze alerts for up to two hours, allowing you to quiet them for a short amount of time. It’s helpful in silencing alerts for reminders happening later in the evening or if you’re heading into a meeting and need to quiet that group chat with all your friends.

Unlike Do Not Disturb, notification snoozing in Android 12 will not allow you to quiet alerts for all applications at once or for days at a time. Instead, you will need to do it on an app-by-app basis

There's a section on how to manually set a snooze state and how to turn them off. I suspect you at least pulled up the window to let you set snooze mode, but idk for sure.

Anyway, hope this helps. If not, if you google "android snooze" you can find much more than this one article that might be more useful to you!
