I miss my BlackBerry and it's scheduled reboot option

Pixels with grapheneos can reboot automatically after a number of hours with the screen off (unattended because you are sleeping). But this would also interfere with Whatsapp backup, which happens overnight.

And in addition to that, they also have automatic reboot if the phone detects performance degradation.
