Odd issues with manual tracking start (doesn't put DND on) and tracking stopping at the middle of the night

1

So I’ve been having weird super annoying issues for a long while now.

Running on a Pixel 8 Pro with the latest android version (16 with January patch) but this had been ongoing for months now (maybe years?!)

I use manual sleep tracking. I also use the “save battery” option a lot since most of the time the phone is on a wireless charging so there’s no point in tracking movement. (I WISH this could be toggled as a default option but I saw the feature request and it doesn’t look like anyone is interested)

Happens like 3-4x a month : I click on “start sleep tracking”. It starts but doesn’t put the do not disturb mode on. I stop tracking and start again.. and it works.

Happens many times a week : I wake up from the alarm and everything looks OK but sleep tracking is off. Phone stays in Do Not Disturb mode… then I get a message saying “were you sleeping from 11PM to 8AM ?”

I remember having to make sure that the battery optimizer wouldn’t kill the app in the past but these settings have been long gone in Android 16 AFAIK.

Am I missing something? I just filed a bug report to see if it helps.

Hi @llavalle , do you use any other DND modes?

Could you please use the Left ≡ menu → (?) Support →Report a bug, ideally, right after the tracking is completely shut down in the morning?

I have other modes (Do Not Disturb, Bedtime, Driving and Pixel Stand Gen 2) but don’t use them.

I filed a bug request earlier today but it might have been 1-2 hours after I woke up. I’ll do another one as soon as I wake up next time. Do you want me to do one when I start tracking and DND isn’t turned on?
