That is not the point of the thread. Perhaps read through it.

An ignore scheduled/usual payments toggle. 
Would be good if they could split credited/debited by type of payment too.

I think the important thing in this situation is not contacting the bank to report and recover the fraud that has happened, but being able to freeze the card and prevent further fraud being carried out.

Iām not saying they donāt care, Iām saying that their inaction suggests that they arenāt that concerned.
The fact is, we have no idea whether or not they care.

Could you not freeze your card before you sleep as a matter of course?
Or would that affect continuous payment authorities? (eg. I pay Google for my email and this is taken as an automatic debit card transaction every month.) If it does, put those transactions through a separate credit card perhaps?

IFTTT card freeze 
Nobody has suggested that yet!
I think thereās two things here and shouldnāt be conflated.
-
Stopping known transaction alerts that make your phone ding in the night.
-
Trying to do the banks job in being alert for any fraud attempts at any moment.
Even if Monzo made it so only unusual transactions went ding, theres no guarantee you will hear and act unless you are a very light sleeper.
Second regardless of if you catch and freeze or sleep through its the banks job to do the fraud and freezing if it suspects foul play.
Unless it can be proved you are have been grossly negligent with the security of your account the bank will reimburse the stolen amount.
So it might be best at this point to either use another bank for your salary/DDs, or just use the do not disturb feature of your phone and take it off your mind worrying about it and leave it to the bank.
The other pro tip is donāt keep all you money in you account, just enough for monthly spending, put the rest in savings. If you are an unlucky sod, and whatever cash was taken, then you can then have access to money whilst the bank sorts out the reimbursement.

I do this, I have a pot called āRainy Dayā and I keep most of my āon handā money in there. Means my balance always looks low (below Ā£150) so I donāt spend money on frivolous things during the month āby accidentā

With Androidās āDo Not Disturbā feature you can mute notifications between a customised time range & selectively so oneās wake up alarm can activate as an exception. Similarly you can set customised phone contacts to ring whilst others remain silent.
Going back to the original subject; there is another topic which is similar:
I do think the idea of being able to select a āquiet timeā when certain notifications are silent would be a better idea than the other two suggested options, with the DD, SO and other expected transactions are delivered but don;t wake you up.
The Apple one is similar but not identical. I guess the point is that because you may still want SOME monzo notifications but not all, the configuration needs to be within the app (at least in part).

More configuration would certainly be good. In an ideal world Iād want no notifications(well certainly no sound) on normal use, but notifications with sound for declined transactions, or when my balance gets low. For now on iOS Iāve tuned off sound for Monzo
Agreedā¦Android does allow much more customisation of notifications than IOS.
Due to an ongoing issue between Mastercard and Monzo I am often double charged from self service in Tesco and at 1am -1.15am every night without fail I get the correct overcharge credit back about 1 week later. Given I use Tesco daily this 1am notification has become frustrating.
Iāve been able to mute credit notifications given its rare and far happier not waking up every night.
However I agree with the OP, would love the already great app to offer me more flexibility with night time notification

My phone is always on silent but vibrates, when I go to sleep itās set up DND. If anyone needs me in an emergency if they ring 3 times successively the ringer is automatically switched on.

Same. However I also have a favorites list that allows calls to come straight through.
I think actually now youāve said that Iāve got certain contactās that will come through, then any other numbers not on that will trigger the volume on if they ring multiple times
Edit itās obviously been a while since I set it up

Totally 100% second this.
I donāt like to put my phone on silent because I have an unstable family member I like to know can contact me at any time.
I donāt want to turn the notifications off because itās so helpful, Iāve spotted a fraud during the day once and it was so easy to halt. The notifications through the night need to just be āunexpectedā ones I guess!
