So I have had mixed results with unattended upgrades on Debian based distros. It sometimes works and sometimes doesn’t. It turns out that sometimes you need to enable it though dpkg-reconfigure unattended-upgrades

Problem solved

    It is impossible that unattended-upgrades reboots without the Unattended-Upgrade::Automatic-Reboot flag set. Source: the function def reboot_if_requested_and_needed(): on line 1688 in the script.

    Probably your config was wrong

      Same, never had unattended upgrades trigger a reboot in all the years it’s been set up on my project servers.

      The only cause of reboots in my case has been power failures and dead UPSes lol
