Podcast Autoplay on iPhone -- How to Stop

iOS 11.2.2 on iPhone X.

It used to be that you could set your podcasts to stop before rolling over to play the next one. I liked that feature, since it allowed me to turn off all my lights at night and just let the current podcast play out. Now, though, the podcasts seem to autoplay (a feature that many seem to like) but without the option of setting the podcast playing to stop at the end of the episode. Did that feature get moved somewhere? I don't see it anymore, and I really miss it.

Drag the Now Playing screen upwards and just below the 1X icon you will see a button with a crescent moon on it. This is the sleep timer. Tap the moon button and a menu will appear, giving you the option to stop the iPod playing after 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 15, 30, 45 minutes, 1 hour and finally When Current episode Ends.

Using the last option (When Current Episode Ends) will do exactly that.
