This happened today, and I'm honestly still annoyed at myself. A friend group I'm in has been planning a small get-together for weeks, and the location/time got moved around a couple times as people sorted out logistics. At some point during all the back and forth scheduling messages, I muted the group chat just to stop the constant notifications, fully intending to unmute it once things were finalized. I forgot. Completely. I went about my day assuming the party was still at the original time we'd first discussed, since that's the last update I actually remembered seeing. Around the time I figured people would just be arriving, I started getting texts asking where I was, turns out the final time had been moved up two hours earlier, and I'd missed all of it sitting in the muted chat. By the time I saw the messages and rushed over, most people were already wrapping up, food was gone, and I'd basically shown up for cleanup instead of the actual event. Everyone was nice about it, but I still feel like the friend who showed up to the end credits of something everyone else experienced together. TL;DR: muted a group chat mid-planning and forgot to unmute it, missed the actual updated time for a party today, showed up just as everyone was leaving.
