Agent is available in the Play store Agent - do not disturb & more - Android Apps on Google Play

Which has a nice Sleep mode where you can configure start/stop times each day, only start after plugged in, and only have so much time of inactivity.  You can also specify who you want to be able to get through text/phone and even setup response text that makes the person send back a specific text to force ring you phone.  Can also make it ring if same caller calls back multiple times.  I disable all the other features (parking, battery, meeting) because I don't need them.  I have used it for years and been very happy with it.

Blocking mode is just renamed.  I was able to access from the notifications pull down. Pess and hold the star icon (interruptions)... the menu came up.  You can't get as much customizations with the allowed callers, but if you put your priority people in favorites then it'll work.  It let me set the days and times to turn on/off, etc.
