This is particularly true if you have to authenticate with your Wi-Fi network and have "Use Private Wi-Fi Addresses" enabled:


Use private Wi-Fi addresses in iOS 14, iPadOS 14, and watchOS 7 - Apple Support


An explanation from third-party site Eleven software can be found here:


Users with these devices (Apple iPhones running iOS 14 and Apple iPads running iPadOS 14) who have the setting enabled will be forced to reconnect their device via a captive portal every 24 hours. Some users may even be forced to reconnect more often than that if they are leaving and coming back to the Wi-Fi venue. Having to reconnect devices can be a minor inconvenience or a huge pain depending on the use case.
