Always on displays shuts off at night after 18.4 update on 16 pro max

Extracted from the Apple Article Keep the iPhone display on longer: "The display automatically turns off when iPhone is either face down or obstructed from view, not near a paired Apple Watch, when a CarPlay session begins, while Continuity Camera is in use, while Low Power Mode is on, while Sleep Focus is on, or at your usual bedtime."

"Always on displays shuts off at night after 18.4 update on 16 pro max: Ok so after the 18.4 update on my 16 Pro Max my Always on display is shutting off to a black screen at nights. Does anyone else have that same issue? I noticed it happens mostly when a notification arise"

Thank you for the follow up reply.

Its time to Upgrade:

Well, your iPhone model(7 Plus) is more than 9 generations old. So, I’d take this as a good reason to upgrade to a newer model. Apple typically provides updates for 7 years, and then discontinues it.

When Transferring to a New iPhone:

Use Quick Start? Use Quick Start to Transfer Data to a New iPhone or iPad - Apple Support.

“It's not the 7 plus, it's the 16 Pro Max that's having the issue.”

You Model:

Despite your title, “iPhone 7 Plus” is the selected device. So, did you overview and try what was recommended by SravanKra?
