iPhone 14 Pro Standby Mode on iOS 17 at night - turns off after 10-15 seconds

I have found it to be intermittent at waking for motion. Sometimes I’m walking at the other end of the room and it wakes. Other times I can walk right up to it waving my hands and it stays asleep until I tap the screen.Completely normal, with sleep focus on it goes off and comes on again when it detects movement
Yes, and this shows that Apple recognizes there are problems. It definitely has bugs, as it operates inconsistently for me, with the same settings.
Fixed in ios 17.1 beta 2. Toggle added for standby to turn off “never”!

How are people judging that it’s stayed on all night? By sitting watching it and not sleeping?
Personally it would wind me up if it stayed on, that’s more distracting than just moving and it coming on. Would drive my wife mad it being on all night.

This might be intended behavior for Sleep mode.
My 15 Pro is in Sleep focus mode and motion does not wake the screen (need to tap screen to wake). My wife’s 15 Pro is in do not disturb (not sleep) and motion wakes the screen.
My 15 Pro Max is in Sleep focus and DOES wake up with movement. Hoping 17.1 sorts it good and proper.
I looked too (iPhone 11 Pro Max) and it's not there. I have to assume it's only available for the 14/15 series then.
I wouldn't assume anything like that, although you may be correct. I mean why would it be 14 and not anything below?
It's just a really crazy thing... a feature called "Standby" that is advertised to be always on, but not always on (unless you have a 15) ... then later advertised to be always on for all phones after the 17.1 update, but still not there. It's really nuts.
EDIT: According to this article, you're correct. I forgot that 14 was when AOD came out.
This whole thing is just so stupid. If AOD is required for this feature, then why is this even offered to non-AOD phones? Just to piss everyone else off? And so then why the need for the new option to "never turn off", if it never turned off on AOD phones in the first place?

Hi
Do you still find it erratic, I have 15pro as well and sometimes it sleeps as intended and wakes with motion, other times it stays on all night, I find taking it off the MagSafe charger and placing it back on seems to prompt it into sleeping again as I want, but its so weird.
If you find it works for you now do you mind sharing what settings you use or changed to get it working.
Thank you
I have a 15 PM and can't get the stupid Standby mode to stay on all night (as others have noted). In addition to this likely being an iOS bug issue, my question is about the Focus modes. I use Sleep and DND because I don't want notifications going on all night. If I turn off those, am I going to get notifications all night? And some users here tried that (I think), and it still didn't cause Standby to stay on.
Any suggestions? Or do we just wait for Apple to fix it with an update? Thanks.
I have no category on my 15PM called "resting data." I have "resting energy," "sleep," and "active energy," among others. Am I missing something?
Unless you have tried:
• a known good power supply (at least 20 watts)
• an official Apple MagSafe charging puck
• bare phone - no case, or a MagSafe case
... you cannot claim it's a bug.
There are millions of iPhones out there like mine that are not having this problem, and I have a third-party MagSafe case.
Nobody complains more about iOS bugs than me, but this feature has been flawless while using an Apple puck, a 20-watt power supply, and a cheap MagSafe case, in my experience.
Something is causing this problem for you. Just do the basic troubleshooting steps above to help narrow it down. Maybe you'll still have the issue and something internal to your phone is defective. At least then you've ruled out everything else.
