The problem in 2023 was something different. According to the recent report, the problem appeared in version 5.2.0.18 and did not exist in version 5.2.0.17.
Personally, I wait 3 weeks before updating my phone, I read the Release Notes thread like [Release notes] Finlayson 5.2.0.18 - Jolla Phone first where people report their problems so I can decide if I want to update or skip.
