In the February security patch not only did Samsung remove Wipe Cache Partition they also added a new toggle in Security and Privacy section.

When you go to Security and Privacy and scroll down to more Security settings there is a new toggle, Inactivity restart. By default it is toggled on, if your phone hasn't been in use for 72 hours the phone will automatically restart. The toggle is for those that refuse to have a pin or password, if you don't toggle it off, you will have to factory reset your phone.

It has been on Pixel phones for a while now. On a Pixel you cannot toggle it off.

Edit: With the new update pushed out to S26U devices the toggle was added

Pixel will not let you toggle it off.

The restart after 72 hrs has been a thing for a while, they just added the toggle to turn it off.

They added it for the people who don't use a pin or a password. On the restart for those people they had to factory reset. It didn't take in to account no pin or password.

There were a few posts here that they didn't have a pin or password

You're welcome.
The toggle was added for the people who don't use a pin or password. Now they can say, there was a toggle that you could have turned off. Not our fault you couldn't find it.

I find it stupifying that some people, in this day and age, don't utilize any type of security features on their phones.
