always on display turning itself off after 16.2

I created a new Focus and selected the AOD to be on and the screen stayed on last night when I tried it. Will try again another day to make sure that I wasn't just lucky!

I tried this again last night and most of the time it stayed on. It went off once, but I had touched it.
 
Everything was great last night. I had a focus on and set the AOD to be on like the last few times and it stayed on until 1.21 am. Why that time, I don't know!
 
My AOD keeps turning itself off. Started with 16.4. I have AOD set to turn off with DND. After about 24 hours, AOD turns off in settings and won't turn back on. Not sure if its a focus issue or iOS in general issue.
 
This seems to be even more obnoxious on iOS 16.5…

Desperately hoping iOS 17 improves things.
 
I think it has something to do with the time if I listen to something before midnight, it hardly does it, but after then, I regularly have problems.

It proved me wrong last night. I listened to a podcast and music last night until 1am and I had no problems!
 
Really hope the iOS 17 rumor about “more AOD settings” is true…would love a legit “ALWAYS ON” setting where the phone doesn’t attempt to learn your habits and the display actually does what it’s supposed to.

Yeah I totally agree because my iPhone battery is good enough to last all day with the AOD on. But if we think it won't last, we switch off the AOD option!

Yeah 16.6 is still terrible. I’ve given up and will hope for some AOD tweaks in iOS 17 on Monday.
 
I’m almost ready to turn it off all together. This way I won’t be disappointed when it’s off and it’s supposed to be on.

standby mode will only work when charging, so if it does fix it it’s likely only when charging, but would be nice for someone on ios 17 beta to confirm
 
Just checked the iOS 17 thread……appears it still turns off even in standby mode!! You have to create some movement to wake screen like on Apple Watch in nightstand mode
