I used tasker to display an icon on my status bar to tell me whether auto rotate is enabled or not. I kept lying down on my side forgetting that I had auto rotate on and my display would rotate when I didn't want it to.

It's an incredibly specific and minor thing that was annoying me, but tasker let me fix it. It's a great tool, but can be complicated if you aren't familiar with scripting. Luckily it's got some presets and a "basic" mode.

There's a completely free app (no ads, either) that prevents auto-rotate from actually happening unless you want it to. It pops up an icon when your phone wants to rotate, and it you don't tap it within the timeout (adjustable up to 3 seconds) then the icon goes away and the rotation never happens. It's highly customizable, and I just can't live without it since I found it.

I also find that super annoying!

I created a trigger to disable auto-rotate when I'm using the apps I'm usually browsing while in bed (i.e. doom scrolling social media) but I like your idea.
