As per the latest HW manual[1], the INT# output is pulled low after the alarm is triggered. After the INT# output is pulled low, it is low for at least 250ms, even if the correct action is taken to clear it. It is impossible to clear ALM if it is still active. The host must wait for the RTC to progress past the alarm time plus the 250ms delay before clearing ALM.
