Wish this could be reduced lower. If I don’t unlock my phone in a day, something is up and extra paranoia is warranted.

After reading your comment, I was interested in whether or not I could achieve this through the built-in Shortcuts app. Unfortunately, "Restart" is not an available action.

Edit: Actually, I was looking in the wrong place. It’s an option for the "Shut Down” action. Thanks, @jwond!

There is a restart action. You need to first add the Shut Down action, then you can change it to Restart.

I'm so dumb. I didn't even click into the "Blank Actions" tile.

Nice! Just created an automation to restart daily at 4:00am. Hopefully it works without user input.

Thank you very much. I've wanted to have a weekly reboot of my phone for years now, and it drove me nuts that I couldn't create a shortcuts automation for it.

Just tried it. Unfortunately, even when you choose "Run Immediately", it still asks for user input when the time comes ("Are you sure you want to restart this iPhone?")

I have had my phone set to reboot every day at sunrise and have had no issues with it prompting for input in weeks.
