iPhone 12 Pro iOS 16.2 freezes and restarts every 10 minutes

It has been about a month that I’ve updated in ever in two years. For the last 3 days it has been this way. I can’t backup my files to reset and erase. It keeps rebooting halfway. Please help!

iPhone 12 Pro, iOS 16

Salutations to you shompod64, 


Here are the steps you’ll want to take if your device is restarting on its own - If your iOS or iPadOS device restarts or displays the Apple logo or a spinning gear unexpectedly


Check your software
Make sure that your device has the latest version of iOS or iPadOS and that your apps are up to date. If the issue continues after updating your software and apps, check your hardware.

Check your hardware
On an iPhone 6 or later, check your battery health under Settings > Battery > Battery Health.

If your battery doesn't need service, and your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch continues to frequently restart or turn off, contact Apple Support.

If your apps quit unexpectedly, learn what to do.

If your device has a frozen screen, doesn't respond, or becomes stuck when you turn it on, learn what to do for iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.


If the issue is persisting, next would be to reach out to Apple Support for additional assistance and that can be done via this link or the one above - Contact Apple Support


Thanks.
