The Control Center is always in the Menu bar. You can do two things that might help:
1. You can make sure Focus is not shown separately in the Menu Bar by going to System Preferences > "Dock and Menu Bar". On the left side, click Focus and make sure you have unchecked "Show in Menu Bar" (it will ALWAYS be in the Control Center, though). This way, you won't see it unless you click on the Control Center.
2. You can also make sure FOCUS is never activated. There are 3 of areas you need to adjust.
— Go to Settings > Notificiations and Focus
— Click on Focus Tab
— Click "Do Not Disturb" on the left, make sure it is off on the upper right pane, and UNCHECK any schedule on the lower right pane that says "Turn on Automatically"
— Click "Personal" on the left and make sure it is off on the Upper Right pane
— Clic on "Sleep" on the left, and make sure it is off on the Upper Right pane and THEN read the instructions on the Lower Right Pane to turn off "Sleep" on your iPhone -- you MUST do this if you never want "Sleep" focus on your Mac
Good luck!
