DND mode turns on and off repeatedly

I am curious whether anyone else is having this problem as I cannot find anything about it online. I have an issue that my Pixel XL starts turning DND mode on and off repeatedly with no interaction from me. It cycles back and forth every second or so and the DND icon comes and goes from the notification bar as it does this. This also seems to run down the battery and heat up the phone. No clearing out of applications seems to fix this but if I reboot the phone it goes away. I should also note that I find my Pixel goes into DND mode all the time unintentionally . About half the time I take it out to make a call I see that DND is on. This happens even when it is not cycling like this repeatedly. Anyone else having problems like this?

I have seen this happen on my phone a few times - during the day, which is against the schedule that I set. It's not often enough to bother me, but it is somewhat worrisome.
These bugs man!

also experienced it. i wondered if it was impacted by android wear because i dont see it when i dont have my watch on.
i also noticed it goes into that DND mode when you make a call. so maybe it's not coming out of it when you hang up

DND is flaky

I tried using DND when i first got the phone but it was inconsistent and flaky.
Went back to silence premium and havent had any issues since.

I also have a smartwatch connected. Perhaps the bug is related to Android Wear.
So that's really interesting. I have a first gen Asus Zenwatch and I removed the Zenwatch Manager app late last week and the problem appears to have stopped. I still get the occasional DND turning on when I don't think I have activated it, but the cycling back and forth appears to have stopped. I should also note that I apparently got an upgrade to the watch firmware last week (it said upgrading when I woke up) so this could have resolved the issue as well. Regardless it does not seem to have happened in several days.

Someone in another thread suggested deleting the three default automatic rules for do not disturb. I did that a couple days ago and haven't had the problem since. I have an Android Wear watch connected too.
