Is anyone else getting overnight shutdowns after upgrading? This happens every single night when I leave my machine on.

I use a late 2016 MacBook Pro.
 
I had a few different things going on after I upgraded. One of them was my system shutting down when I did not expect it, also the system was not respecting the caffeinate command. There were also several other issues with screen brightness and keyboard backlight. Everything was fixed for me after an SMC and PRAM/NVRAM reset.
 
I'm on a late 2016 Macbook Pro TB and this happens to me. I'll close the lid on an evening and when i come back to it the following evening it tells me it 'needs a password to enable touch id after reboot' or words to that effect even though i have only put it to sleep by shutting the lid.

I'd really appreciate a fix if anyone knows of one, i'm relatively new to Macs from PC's so i could be missing a setting or something?

Edit: This only started happening with High Sierra
 
I'm getting this as well. If I leave it plugged in to power overnight then it's always fine, but otherwise it's 50/50 when I come back in the morning whether it rebooted itself in the night or not. This is a 2017 13" MBP.
 
Bumping.

I have also tried the SMC reset and that worked for one day. Everything is up to date.

Any other suggestions?
 
Not me. I know it's a pain, but I'd try a reinstall (in-place installation) using the 10.13.1 installer. That might fix the problem.
 
I noticed this since the 10.13.1 Beta. When the release came out, I installed that and still the same issue. I reinstalled and yet the issue still persists. Its definitely a bug and a rather annoying one.

Edit* Can anyone running 10.13.2 confirm if this issue still persists?
