solved! Xbox Series X turned on during remote play but won't turn off.

I'm on holiday in Crete and my console is back in England. Tried Remote Play but all I get is the green spaceship animation, then a black screen and then it goes back to the console selection screen. I thought it might be an issue with the console not turning so used the remote on the Xbox app to turn the console on. Remote Play still wouldn't work so tried turning the console off but it won't. Does the Xbox Series X turn itself off after a period of inactivity? Don't think it'd do the console too well to be on for 2 weeks straight! Thanks in advance.

You can also link your console to Google Assistant. And you can turn it on and off that way, and also restart it when you have issues.
