For a while, I have had to turn off VoiceOver speech on my phone at night, because VoiceOver shouts "100% charged" every few minutes once the battery is full. Since iOs 2026.2, I have to turn VoiceOver off completely, because under yet to be determined conditions, VoiceOver falls into a restart loop, turning on its speech, and reading out loud the screen contents. Apparently it briefly disables screen curtain as well, which doesn't bother me, but very much so my wife. Glad that Apple has such a swift track record in fixing accessibility bugs. /s

@sapphireangel @FreakyFwoof @ysotomayor Its got so bad for me I turn off VoiceOver when I go to bed. I don't use screen curtain and I don't think the screen gets brighter for me. However whenever I receive a notification I get the name of the app spoken out as well as the battery charge status. I think this is only happening for me during sleep focus times but need to do more testing on that.

@sinabahram Indeed. While the first VO crash and restart can sometimes take hours, if I sleepily then reach over, and mute the sleep again, the next restart and sleep comeback happens precisely when I manage to drift back to sleep. To their credit, this aggressive sleep killer works better than the standard 9 minute snooze on iOs alarms, but I prefer to use it by choice.
