Sleep Focus schedule on iPhone disappears automatically

I have a schedule set for Sleep Focus and it works for about three days and then suddenly Sleep Focus does not automatically turn on and when I go into the Focus settings the "Next Schedule" part is empty and I have to add it again. This is a recent issue for me, as previously it stayed on the same schedule without my having to re-add the schedule every three days or so.

If the Focus Sleep Schedule is disabled after being active for a few days, it could be due to an MDM (Mobile Device Management) profile installed by your corporate IT department. MDM profiles can enforce certain device policies, including restrictions on Focus modes, sleep schedules, and other personal settings. If your device is managed by an organization, they may have applied a policy that overrides or disables the Focus Sleep Schedule after a certain period. You can check for an installed MDM profile by navigating to Settings > General > VPN & Device Management and see if a corporate profile is listed. If this is the case, you may need to contact your IT department for further clarification or to request adjustments.
