Auto Restart with Two Factor Authentication

Technical Help
#1

@Brian for my Live account I changed my AUTO RESTART time in my docker-compose.override.yml file. I receive the Authentication notices from IBKR every night at the time designated in my override.yml file but the way I interpret the QR Usage Guide the authentication should only be required on Sundays and the remaining days of the week I will automatically be logged back in.

Auto-restart with two-factor authentication
For live accounts with two-factor authentication, the Sunday auto-restart will require two-factor authentication. On other days, the auto-restart will automatically log you back in without the need to perform two-factor authentication. Thus, accounts with two-factor authentication can remain logged in all week, with mobile authentication on Sundays.

Did I misinterpret the Usage Guide and authentication is required every day or do I need to add special instructions in the override.yml file to automatically log back in without Authentication?

Please advise.

Thanks.

It's supposed to be weekly. Do you know exactly when the 2FA notifications began happening nightly instead of weekly for you? Was it correlated with any particular action such as moving to the cloud, changing the auto-restart time, etc? I've been having to perform nightly 2FA as well for the last couple weeks and have an open ticket with IBKR about it. No insights yet on why it's happening or how to resolve it.

@Brian it's been this way since I set up my Oracle Cloud Instance a couple of weeks ago so unfortunately I can't connect it with any action or change in my environment. Appreciate the response and hopefully they figure it out soon. Thanks.
