iPhone stuck in a notification. Unable to dismiss

I accidentaly opened Apple Home, and it showed a critical alerts notification. I tried to press "Don't Allow" but it did not work. Pressing 'Allow' also did not work. All I can think of it to just wait for the battery to die. iPhone is at 90%, on power saver, and has a new battery that lasts almost 17hrs. Is there a way I can either dismiss the notification, or get it to die faster?

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

If you cannot get the phone to power off normally, do a force restart. For a XS press and release the Volume Up button, then the Volume Down button. Then Press and hold the power button until the device shuts off and restarts.
