I have now twice had MagSafe be connected to my naked iPhone 12 mini and woken up to the phone not charged; in this state I place the phone on a Qi charger and it won’t charge and I place it back on the MagSafe and it won’t charge. A reboot is required for wireless charging to function again.

Compounding on this issue is the lock screen behavior when the phone is in sleep mode. That beautiful Apple Watch style charging animation does not appear when in sleep mode so now if I go to bed after the scheduled time I need to annoyingly double check the tiny icon in the status bar to confirm the phone is indeed charging. This is surely a software bug that I hope is fixed very soon here! I also hope that animation can just always work regardless of sleep mode; it is so nice and makes me sad that I don’t get to see it when charging at night.
Am I the only one that wants this animation displayed all of the time regardless of sleep settings?
 
Recently got a MagSafe night stand charger and noticed this same thing. I google it, and this here thread is the only result.

Hasn’t been changed as of iOS 14.5. Not really sure why it works this way.
