How can I prevent Silent Mode from disabling automatically on iPhone 16 Pro?

After turning on Silent Mode using the Action Button on my iPhone 16 Pro, silent mode will automatically turn off after some time.

I am certain that I'm not pressing the Action Button accidentally or disabling Silent Mode any other way manually. I don't use any Focus modes, nor do I have any focus modes set up to activate automatically.

This has been occurring on all versions of iOS 18, up to and including the most recent 18.3.

It is incredibly frustrating when I get a call blasting at full volume when the phone should have been silent. Any help would be much appreciated.

This Apple Article may help you --> Use and customize the Action button on iPhone - Apple Support (IN)

If you feel an unauthorized person/app is remotely using, controlling or monitoring your device, then that is possible only if you have done one or more of the following Don'ts...

Don't hand over an iPhone to kids or to a stranger without Enabling Guided Access
Don't share Apple IDs
Don't Jailbreak
Don't share sensitive information pertaining to your device
Don't give in to Phishing
Don't plug in your device in Airports and Public places through third-party cables and trust the device. Beware of Juice Jacking. (Especially in India)
Don't leave your iPhone unlocked and unattended in public places like offices, schools, malls, etc.

If one of the above is true then quickly change the Apple ID Password and Return iPhone settings to their defaults.

Thank you for the detailed response.

I realized the issue was completely my fault, as I set up some automations that control Silent Mode, which I forgot about and did not notice while trying to identify the issue.
