  I have noticed a very annoying problem over the last few weeks or maybe even months. When I set my sleep timer to 20 minutes and the phone goes to sleep mode after that, the next day, when I hear podcasts, the sleep timer seems to be still turned on although the color of the icon is greyed out (I.e. function is turned off). What happens then is every 20 minutes my phone will stop playing the podcast and I have to restart the podcast manually.
  I usually have to manually close the app and restart it in order to make it work properly.

  That is super annoying. Maybe you have valuable insights for me and know how to resolve my issue.

  thx

  I forgot to mention. I’m using an iPhone 17 with the latest iOS version.
