Keeping facial recognition enabled during the day.

I have two facial recognition profiles, one normal and one with sunglasses on. I have an iPhone 17 pro and I still have to use my passcode frequently, to enable facial recognition on my phone. Why does this happen so often? I am current on updates and upgrades.

iPhone 14 Pro, iOS 18
