5 birthday events won't dismiss

I have 5 birthday events that pop up on each calendar sync and I'm unable to either dismiss them individually or 'dismiss all'. I can close the reminders window but it just pops up the next sync.

I've tried this with 4 different linux distros and with both packaged and flatpak versions. Currently on a fresh install of Fedora 38 and Thunderbird version is from fedora stable sources as of Aug 19, 2023 [can't find where to see a more specific version number.

The calendars are on my self-hosted NextCloud accessed through tailscale.

I've tried deleting the birthdays for these 5 contacts, syncing calendars, adding the birthdays back, syncing again, but the same issue returns.

Any ideas how to resolve this?

OMG! I finally figured it out. I changed the birthday calendar to update manually and then synced it and tried to dismiss all, and it finally gave me something other than nothing, it gave me a message that said it received a 404 error and that I can set it as read only. Makes sense since it's a birthday calendar that gets its info from the contact cards. made the change, synced, issue resolved.
