Since 14.4.2 on my iPhone Xs Max, the camera app opens after 5 minutes

Earlier today, I upgraded my iphone to 14.4.2. Since that time, the camera app opens every 5 minutes. It opens regardless of what I am doing. Even if the phone is locked, it will open. As a result my battery consumption has increased dramatically with the Camera showing as using 66% of battery in the last 24 hours.

Well - I tried something that might have resolved it. I used the Screentime functions to disable the camera app, and then left it like that for a while when it was charging, then later, I re-enabled the app and it's working fine. So far a few hours have passed and the camera app is not popping up anymore. Still no idea why it was doing this.
