Do Not Disturb scheduling does not work

I have the iPhone 14 Pro running iOS 16.2. I went into the Focus settings and set a schedule for Do Not Disturb from 12am - 5am daily. The DND turns on as expected, but will not turn off based on the schedule. Today I woke up at 8am and DND was still active. As of 10:30am it was still active. Yesterday it was still active as of 6am and then somehow turned itself off sometime after 7am. There seems to be no rhyme or reason as to when the DND turns off, but clearly it is not working based on the set schedule. I do not have any other Focus schedules set up that could be interfering with this. Any ideas?

iPhone 14 Pro, iOS 16

Salutations ansky201,

Let’s begin by having you create a backup and update to iOS 16.3.

How to back up your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch

Update your iPhone or iPad

Then once the update installs, restart your iPhone and test Do Not Disturb. What you can do is set up a schedule for it to turn on in a few minutes and turn off a little later, just to see if the issue persists. Use Do Not Disturb with Focus on your iPhone or iPad

Turn on Do Not Disturb

1. Go to Settings > Focus.

2. Tap Do Not Disturb.

3. Under Turn on Automatically, set Do Not Disturb to turn on automatically at a certain time, location, or while using a certain app.

Thanks.

His morning I got a spam from a fake Netflix message. To add insult to misery, my Do Not Disturb feature totally ignored this message and let this wake me up. What’s up Apple, another update glitch?
