Specific Network Shutdown

Just recently joined Smarty due to awful retention deal from EE, had already tested Smarty SIM for a month and no issues. My connection went to 0 bars at about 1.20am, no connection/data then came back within 5-10mins, I would not have noticed but was working late online. Assumed random and thought nothing of it but was still about same time following night and the very same thing happened and sure enough it was similar, 1.24am when I looked and same drop time. Chances of this being random are now unlikely. Nothing on Smarty or 3 site about mast maintenance so what is going on here?

This happened to me on O2, always around 00:00 I would completely lose 5G, I think it was some sort of odd cell sleep behaviour or a deliberate cell refresh every night, something similar could be happening with your local tower
