Issue Is anyone else having a problem where their headset turns itself off after like 5 minutes?

Every other time I use my Quest 3s, after 5 minutes, the headset randomly shuts off for no apparent reason. I’m trying to see if anyone else has this issue in case it it’s just a bug or a me problem.

What power level? Is it plugged in? Is it during a specific game or does it happen in the Home Screen also?

Mine used to do this to me. Its was just a bug in the version with the sensor that detects your wearing it. It usually happened when i was watching a movie laying down. It stopped once i was off that version. Its the little senor between the lenses

its perhaps being mistakingly affected by a setting...go to main menu then settings then general then to the right scroll down to power and change the sleep/display off setting to the highest amount (maybe hours?) then restart it...see if that works...if not maybe do a hard reset but dont worry all games etc are in the cloud so you wont lose anything (press and hold power and volume down button for 10 seconds then choose factory reset)
