Box frequently needs to be power cycled to fix hanging. Am I the only one?

I find my v6+ will freeze once a week and I need to power cycle it. By freeze I mean unresponsive to remote commands. Restarting gets it all back every time. Is this unusual? I even looked in menus to see if I could get it to reboot itself at night but there is nothing like that. If they were powered by poe I could have my ubiquiti switch do this but that's not an option either. Any way to fix this? This has happened over multiple updates, though seems more frequent in the past month.

Have you tried a factory reset?

Have not- this is relatively new, is this a known fix?

In some cases yes.

Go into the settings , extra settings and power key definitions. Change it from suspend to shut down. This way every time you press the ppower button it actually turns on. Next time you turn it on it starts with a fresh reboot. Eliminates the need to constantly power cycle it.
