The real solution is to set it so it starts just before you are supposed to wake up, and ends 6 hours before that. That gives you the active hours as intended, and it won’t reboot the system in the middle of work ever again.
Doing this gives big bow to the machine energy for me, I don’t like it.
The whole point of this option existing is to keep the system from auto install/reboot in the middle of work. You’re telling the machine when it’s not okay to do this… so you’re the one in control.
