Am I forgetting something that makes monsters spawn immediately?

Coming back to 1.22 after not playing for a while.

I have started 3 survival games and in all of them shivers spawn within the first 3-5 minutes of play and kill me. Do I have some sort of setting or is the new thing to dodge shivers constantly while trying to get cattails? I felt like before you had a couple days grace before stuff started spawning with the default survival setting.

It's the "Grace Timer" in the first settings tab:

Ok thank you. I was looking for this but focused on the survival tab I think. 
 

I was shocked to see monsters simply spawn on the surface in the open though. I don’t remember that happening.

It was confirmed intentional behavior in 1.20 or 1.21--I don't recall which. It does happen at a much lower rate than underground or at night though. I think the general idea is to keep the player on their toes a bit during days of high rift activity, rather than the player happily ignoring rifts entirely and going about their business.
