Unsure. I didn't start seeing this again until the last week or so.

It looks like I can dismiss events that I created for my own calendar. The ones that I have trouble with are events that I have been invited to by someone else.

Actually, the events that I've been having a problem with are for recurring meetings whose events were imported during the Google Calendar migration.

I seem to have a very similar problem, or possibly two similar problems. There are a lot of bugs about dismissing reminders, but I think my problem is either this one, or the one described in #1271867.

I have just added a new google calendar to Thunderbird, and after connection it showed me reminders for a couple hundred events, all in the past. Dismiss All worked fine for most of them, but three reminders remain, and refuse to go away.

If I try clicking Dismiss, I get a dialog about modification failed, asking me to either "discard and reload", or "submit anyway". Which ever selection I go for, I get the same reminder again, and the same options if I try to discard it again. Similar behavior for the other two reminders.

I've enabled debug logging for the calendar (attached, with some privacy edits), and it looks like one of the events are returning a 404 when I try to dismiss, while the others return 403.

I've tried removing the calendar and adding it again, but the same three event reminders show up again. 

The only way to get rid of the reminders dialog is to close it using the X in the corner, and then selecting "submit anyway". The next time a reminder triggers, I still have those three, in addition to the new one. The new one will dismiss fine.

Same issue with
Thunderbird 60.4.0
Lightning 6.2.4
Provider for Google Calendar 4.4.2

This is a really annoying bug. Is by any chance anyone who can take a look? It's a 4 years old issue...

Interesting info from bug 1454901:

(eivindt from bug 1454901 comment #11)

I am also now seeing this again, but it's not the same behaviour as in my original report. Let me know if you want me to open a separate bug, or keep it in this one.

The behaviour I'm seeing now seems to be only for recurring events that I have been invited to (i.e. they are not my events).

As other people have noted, there's now a 403 Forbidden response, not the 404 in the original report, and there are no response at all in the user interface (no dialogs of any kind).

I don't know why the provider sends a full calendar json to the googleapis in order to dismiss a notification, but I was able to figure out what field that's causing this problem.

If I manually send the same request to the same url with the same authorization header, I also get a 403 Forbidden. But if I remove the 'recurrence' field:

"recurrence" : [
      "RRULE:FREQ=WEEKLY;BYDAY=FR"
],

and then resend, I get a 200 OK response.

Also interesting to notice is that in the 200 OK response, the recurrence field looks like this:

"recurrence": [
        "RRULE:FREQ=WEEKLY;WKST=MO;BYDAY=FR"
    ],

I.e. the WKST=MO; has been added.

After manually posting this, the reminder is dismissed correctly from Thunderbird as well.
