StandBy mode in 17.0.2 keeps resetting customization back to apple's default settings

In the past 7 days with iOS 17 on my device (first the 13 Pro and as of Friday, the 15 Pro - same problem on both), the settings have reset back to the default StandBy layout/widgets/settings twice. Each time was about three days apart.

In case its helpful, I turned off both Smart Rotate and Widget Suggestions, plus I removed all but one widget on both stacks so it remains as a clock dial on the left and the month view from the calendar on the right. Each time it resets on its own, it turns back on the Smart Rotate and adds back in all 12 widgets (six on each side).

Not a huge deal, but clearly a bug and definitely annoying.

Same issue here with Smart Rotate coming back on by itself and it's now IOS 17.0.3. Sent via Feedback Assistant app.

My iPhone 15 works in standby mode for about 1 minute, then the clock goes to 10pm and doesn’t move. I deleted the clock and put it back in and it did the same thing. The calendar is also blank.

Come on Apple, please read this thread, and come up with a fix.

If you long press on the clock face whilst in standby mode it should allow you to change the face and the city location for your timezone.

Yes, I know that. Thank you.

I have the 15 Pro and have the same problem as OP.

It's kind of infuriating, because StandBy would be an excellent feature with heaps of utility if not for the bug.
