Which was pretty much my starting point from OP's description. It makes sense relating to the sabbath rule as you describe here.

The OP is actually correct on function and its name "Sabbath Mode".

The name is a misnomer because the baking function can only be used on Jewish holidays (Passover, Sukkot) when baking/cooking is permitted (okhel nefesh) whereas on Sabbath cooking is forbidden.

This says exactly what I wrote just discusses other features...in essence it turns off automatic features.
