I must be hitting something accidentally that activates Do Not Disturb.
All the help I've found says to go to the control panel. Except there is no
option to toggle it off. If I go to Focus in Settings and click on Do Not Disturb,
it just takes me to a screen about notifications and customizing the screen.
Again, no option to turn it off. I've turned my phone off and then on.
The system software is up to date.
The focus icon on the Control Panel is not a switch. If you click on it, it brings you to another screen. And there is no toggle switch on that screen either.
I have not sleep settings or any customized Do Not Disturbs set up.
See attached images.

Turning off Do Not Disturb is ambiguous.
It can be intended as “How do I turn off Do Not Disturb while it is enabled?”.
Focus button or the Focus Do Not Disturb button (as is shown when Do Not Disturb is enabled, below, from Control Panel) can do that:
It can also be intended as “How do I make Do Not Disturb go away permanently ?”.
That can be done in Settings > Focus > Do Not Disturb.
That looks like this:
Scroll down, and remove any schedule that might be shown.
With no schedule, Focus Do Not Disturb will be entirely enabled or disabled under your control, and that usually using the Focus (or as Do Not Disturb, when enabled) switch in Control Panel.
Okay, i feel like an idiot. When I click on "Do Not Disturb," it changes to "Focus,"
which I thought was a separate additional setting. I didn't want either one.
But now I realize that Focus is just the name of the option. (Insert face palm)

It doesn't take you anywhere else if you tap on it. If you press and hold, yes, it will take you to a menu with a lot of other things. Tap quickly. It may take a bit of experimentation to get it right.
If you go to Control Center and tap the little picture in a circle on the Focus button, it will turn of Focus/Do Not Disturb. If you tap on the words on the button, you'll get a more involved menu.
I have no schedules set.
Under "set a schedule" is says "add schedule."
None are listed.
Anything under people, apps, or locations?
Unable to turn off Do Not Disturb
