TV keeps turning on at 11pm every night and going straight to ambient mode.

I have tried almost everything to get rid of this. Not sure why after years this started to happen?

Its more comnon than you think. Especially with Roku type flat TVs. About every modern tv w/USB ports can or will do that if its been used
I had one of the 1st flatscreen TVs with installed digital conversion,USB, S-Video, & HDM. I could progam to do just about anything. I connected it to my laptop because of its awesome screen clarity. Suddenly it started comming on at 4AM every day. Then, several mornings in a row it started showing an onscreen keyboard that changed to a local channel or Netflix (Never subscribed to Netflix since its DVD days). It would flip or turn off soon as I got up to turn it off. Like I was being watched. It did not have a camera, so I realized the onscreen keyboard and female fingers I seen as it turned off was showing another TV screen or laptop somehow. About the same week, a creepy female security guard & her husband were constantly watching my house & showing up wherever I went. Same week, I caught 1 of their moms looking through every front window of the house after I showered, had my towel on trying to put my pants on. I yelled as I opened the door and seen her running onto their porch, then she sat down as if she had been there all morning. I have a deep voice that travels even when I whisper. She pretended not to hear me, but was obviously nervous about something.
So, you might want to look into that TV thing in a thourough, detailed manner.

They call it ghosting for a reason. I do believe him because its happened to several friends that got spooked when it happened to them one by one between one and 5 am. Each one at same time for a week. One borrowed an antique lever action rifle for 2 weeks. I showed him how to use it and reload w/out slowing down.

After texting with Samsung support and allowing them to remote in to my TV and them checking all the same things I did, I figured it out on my own. In the ambient mode app, there are routines. I checked this even though I do not use it and found a routine was on. It was for sleep oddly enough, and it is set to turn the TV on at 11pm and turn it off at 1am. The purpose of the routine is to help with more relaxing sleep......this was needless to say providing the opposite of the intention.
