Bluetooth notifications selection grayed out.

[LG7119]

I have S24 UI8 running Android 16. I had to reset all notification settings while trying to fix GV app notification. I'm using MicroDroid to turn off the BT for the night. I get a notification "Bluetooth turned off" and I would like to turn off that notification. It was working before the rest. 

Is there a way to fix it?

Those settings are normally greyed out because they want you to be able to have those notifications in case the state change was not something you initiated.  You can, however, turn off sound and vibration for the notifications, even though you can't turn the notifications off. Even so, unless you are getting the notifications at regular intervals, it's only one notification when it goes off.  I'm curious, though, why you feel you have to turn BT off at night.  I have actually never, even once, gotten a Bluetooth Off notification (or any Bluetooth notification, for that matter)  whether or not it was me who initiated the action.  Perhaps it's that third party app you are using to turn it off.  In any case, you don't need a third party app to turn the Bluetooth off at night - you can either add the action to sleep mode, or create a routine to turn it off and back on at certain time.  Personally, unless the app is useful for other things, I'd uninstall the app, or just turn off that control, and go with the mode or routine.

Edited to add:  Actually, I  just took a look at that app, and there is nothing in that app that you cannot do with a combination of the native modes & routines and some Good Lock modules.  I believe that app was made for other Android phones that do not have the options that Samsung has.

My Amazfit connected to it and it drains the battery on both devices. I use Microdroid for other things. I prefer not to use Samsung Routines as I may move from Samsung. 

"I have actually never, even once, gotten a Bluetooth Off notification (or any Bluetooth notification, for that matter) " I have not either. It started after I reset notifications.

Ok.  I was just wondering.  What is Amazfit?  Is that like a Fitbit or watch? 

As far as the notifications coming now, I see it's last update was on November 6, so it may not have caught up with the new UI yet - perhaps, the notification is coming from the app, not the system.  The system notifications of that type generally are not only silent, they don't actually generate a toast or notification bubble, but it will be visible in the notification history as a notification.  Check the notification settings for the app.

Yes, Amazfit is a smart activity watch.

So, I assume it's connected all day long and monitoring your vitals.  Why would you think it drains more battery at night?  it may, just as my watch does, but on the watch only, not the phone.  More sensors are active at night for sleep and respiration tracking.  People tend to forget that 6-8 hours passes between the time they go to bed and the time they wake up, so  6-8 hours of drain would be normal.  The battery drains slightly faster when the battery is below 30%.  On your phone, that's when your nightly backup occurs, so the phone is still not idle.  I suppose you don't need BT on at night, as your activity device will sync once BT is connected in the morning, but I don't think it's the BT that's draining either battery, as Bluetooth is engineered to be low power consumption.  Wi-Fi uses far more power, but turning off wi-fi at night will prevent your phone from backing up.

Because at night it tracks more vitals more often during sleep and I do not BT during the night anyway.  I avoid WiFi altogether as I'm on an unlimited plan with 50gb high priority and my speed on phone is much higher than my internet.

I already said, I know the sensors are more active at night, that's where the battery drain comes from, not the BT being connected. You are correct, you don't need to remain connected at night, as your devices will sync in the morning when you turn BT back on.  However, even though you have unlimited data, your phone will not back up automatically unless you are on wi-fi and plugged into a charger.  It does not back up over mobile data and won't back up if it's not charging.  So, unless you are doing a manual backup to an offline device, if something happens to your phone, you will not have a backup to restore.
