I had been using a magnetic phone mount for a couple of weeks with no issues. Just the other night though my screen froze and started flickering on off and on, off and on somewhat rapidly. I took it off the magnet mount and removed the magnet from the car, it seems fine since. Thinking maybe the magnetic mount caused the screen flickering?

That is odd but I'm not surprised a magnet might cause a weird behavior. I wonder if anyone else has had a similar experience.

I have my s21 set to reboot every Sunday night to keep things running well. I have always done this and no issues. Ok IOS I have to manually reset different options to get the same affect.

That is so odd. My in husband and in-laws have used magnetic case mounts with their phones all the time, but it doesn't surprise me that something like that could crop up, maybe due to prolonged exposure.
