I don’t use sleep focus mode, so it must be the other reason.

It is kind of silly to have an “Always On” screen that isn’t really always on, isn’t it? It’s actually an “On-For-30-Mins Screen” 🫠
it's to save battery life just like it will switch off when you leave the room if you have an apple watch

+1 real annoyed that it turns off during the night, I really wanted this feature to make my alarm clock obsolete but alas........
 
Nope, won’t stay on even when plugged in, which is exactly what I would want. It’s really stupid!
It’s probably to avoid OLED burn in, but I completely agree that the option should be available on an “always” on screen. The only suggestion I have is to provide them feedback to get the feature added. Good luck.
