Issue with Scheduled Sleep Mode Reactivating After Manual Exit

When using Scheduled Sleep Mode on the Descent Mk3, if I wake up early and manually disable Sleep Mode from the Glances or Controls menu, it reactivates shortly after — continuing until the originally scheduled wake time. This makes it difficult to fully exit sleep mode unless I modify the schedule. A manual exit should persist for the rest of the cycle or until manually re-enabled.

Feature Request: Please add an option to prevent reactivation of Sleep Mode once it has been manually turned off during the scheduled window.

    On My FR965 I find if I go to one of the widgets that shows "sleeping" on the widget  (I forget which ones do) and then select it and from start button select end sleep it works.

    I think the othere way temporarily just exits sleep mode and then goes back as as one is still in the sleep schedule

    Update June 5, 2025: 

    Our engineers are aware of a concern that may allow the watch to reenter Sleep mode, after this has been ended. They are anticipating a fix for this, to be released as early as mid-late June. 

    In the mean time, sleep mode will end when scheduled. You can also avoid this reentering sleep mode by recording an activity.

    Similar issue when the watch enter sleep mode in the first place.

    E.g, it's 11pm, watch enters sleep mode based on schedule but I am still awake and disable sleep mode manually. After a few minutes it might go back to sleep.

    This bug has been reported for years.
