Night Shift manually enables itself

I have Night Shift set to a schedule which appears to work fine. But many days, I will notice that Night Shift is still turned on, outside of its scheduled hours. Visiting the Night Shift settings, I notice that Night Shift is manually enabled each time, which certainly wasn't done by me. Any hints to why this might be happening?


This screenshot is what I'll see when this happens - notice the actual hour and the schedule. I'm on iPhone 14 Pro and iOS 16.1.2
