Things to note:

If you are using a cache plugin ensure that it purges the cache when a post, page or custom post type is published to ensure the notification bar is hidden. Most cache plugins have this option enabled by default

Make sure your cron is running. The plugin runs a cron job every 2 minutes. If cron is disabled the schedule will not work

Ensure your theme is able to schedule future posts.

If the scheduled notiication bar does not unpublish to draft mode make sure the cron is working and the page is not cached. Allow 2 minutes after unpublish time for the cron to run

Why is the cron set to run only every 2 minutes? The cron runs through every published notification bar to compare the date and time. If you have hundreds this can add a significant load onto your hosting account.
