the custom ROM I use (CalyxOS) already has it, and you can customise how long the device has to be locked for the reboot to occur, anywhere from 1 to 72 hours.

Same with GrapheneOS.

Mine is set for 12 hours. I never sleep that long and if it does reboot I don't care.

I was gonna say I thought this had been the case forever. I don't use this feature but I recall seeing it on pretty much every custom ROM I've used over the last few years.

Thanks for this. Didn't even know it was an option.
