Do not disturb / focus turns on by itself

I don't know how to reproduce it, but do not disturb / focus turns on by itself. I am 100% sure I did not switch it on by accident myself, in fact I had removed the do not disturb button from the control panel on my Iphone just be sure.

I looked down at my phone at like 2 in the afternoon and saw it was on do not disturb. I have no idea how and I missed several texts / calls because of this. I believe it was somehow in sleeping focus mode but I don't know how, that should turn off by itself by 9am.

iPhone 14, iOS 18

Go to Settings/Focus Do Not Disturb and check the setting under Set A Schedule. And by removing the button from the Control Center you have removed the only way to turn it on and off.

Sorry for the delay in my response. I waited until it happened again just to be sure. I provided some screenshots just below. As you can see the sleep focus is scheduled for 1215am to 9am. Yet for for some reason, even though it is 630 in the afternoon, the sleep focus is on. This is super annoying - I missed an urgent call because of this.

Screenshot showing that I removed the do not disturb button from the control panel just to be sure I didn't accidentally manually enable this:
