Bluetooth keeps turning off by itself. I have the "Turn off Bluetooth automatically" setting under exploit protection set to never. I'm not sure what else to check?
Bluetooth keeps turning off by itself

GOS-John-Doe How long ago did it start doing this and was it after a specific update? What is the length of time before it turns off?

I have a Pixel 9 Pro. I believe this has been happening for the entire time I've had this phone (since early September), but I am not sure about that. If I turn Bluetooth on again with the notification settings toggle, it will stay on for a while. I'm not sure how long before it turns itself off again. I usually don't notice it has turned off until I get a phone call while driving - I have to dig the phone out of my bag and turn Bluetooth back on.
Before the Pixel 9 I had a Pixel 7 and never had this issue.
I changed mine to never turn off, and it did turn off by itself. I am doing some further testing.

"Phone Arena" shows it has been an issue since the September update, but offers a possible solution in disabling the UWB under "Connection Preferences", and reboot

Did anything ever come of this?
I have a Pixel 9 Pro and Pixel 9 Pro XL that both exhibit this behavior (i.e. Bluetooth is automatically disabled even though the exploit protection timeout is set to Never).
UWB is disabled on both devices.
