iPhone 13 updating randomly

My iPhone 13 started updating during the day while in use even though it is set to update overnight while on charger. It shut right off in the middle of a conversation at 6 pm and I thought it was the battery even though it usually lasts more then all day.

iPhone 13 Pro, iOS 16

Stuck in a Boot Loop:

Seems your iPhone is stuck in a boot loop. This typically occurs when you go a bout installing an updates, and it gets stalled while in the process. So, use my user tip: How to Fix an iPhone in a Boot Loop - User Tip

What I Mean:

Q1. "Not sure what you are talking about"

A1. Boot Loop: As my reply reads: This typically occurs when you go a bout installing an updates, and it gets stalled while in the process.


Getting Intermittent Updates with Shut Downs:

Q2. "[...]shuts it off disconnecting a phone call without notice. The phone is set to update automatically at night, not randomly during the day"

A2. If it is just shutting down and not staring back up, then no, it is not in a Boot Loop. Powering it back on, and you are able to get into the Home Screen, then no, it is not in a Boot Loop. As to what is occurring, not sure, other than a bug in the update.

Not sure what you are talking about, but my question is about when a new update comes out. The usual is that it updates the phone at night while on a charger. The last two updates it has done them in the middle of the day regardless what I am doing on the phone and shuts it off disconnecting a phone call without notice. The phone is set to update automatically at night, not randomly during the day
