Do Not Disturb keeps coming on

My phone keeps entering do not disturb mode. I do not have any schedules or automations set. Focus is not set. I know how to turn it off, but every time I stop using my phone, it goes back to do not disturb. I need to get notifications and this is making me crazy. Why does it keep defaulting to dnd? I have tried powering down my phone, and it didn't help.

The most common reason is an old schedule you forgot was there.

  • Go to Settings > Focus > Do Not Disturb.
  • Scroll down to the Set a Schedule section.
  • If you see any times or locations listed (e.g., "9:00 PM to 7:00 AM"), tap on them and toggle them Off or tap Delete Schedule.
