I checked that too. It’s really strange as it just happened out of the blue.

Check your Screen Time settings. Look at the Communication Limits section: Set up Screen Time for a family member on iPhone - Apple Support

That will happen if you set:

Did you check Do Not Disturb? Sounds strange unless these are contacts that are in Favorites. See if this is on and what other settings you may have configured.
