I have the same problem. Secure expiration time configured for never, and digital unlocking enabled. After a while my volt locks up and I have to unlock it again with my finger. On Android 11, version 2.9.1.

Yes, this issue also happens with other set timouts, not only never. Time outs such as until app restart or 4 hours are not respected. It always relock.

Tested on Galaxy note 10 plus N975F with Android 11.

This is not still not fixed as of today.

But for now, if I select never and don't use a biometric lock (ping lock us fine), the PM never lock again.

Btw, the similar problem seems to happen on the iOS version, too.
