Help AT&T Note 3 Won't Send SMS First Thing AM After KitKat

Updated to KitKat and now my Note 3 won't send SMS via Google Hangouts first thing in the AM.

If I reboot the phone eventually it sends then all at once.

Yesterday I didn't notice Hangouts hadn't sent anything until an hour into the day.

Once I reboot the phone the messages get sent and it appears to work fine for the rest of the day.

This is the second day in a row this happened. Both times first thing in the morning.

This happened to me yesterday morning. However, I didn't get a chance to test it today as I normally tend to reboot it every morning after I wake up as it seems to then force my apps to update.

I'm continuing to experience this issue. Tested again this morning and while it did send a test the Google Hangouts UI still showed the "....." indicating that it was in the process of sending. Eventually it indicated that it failed (although the text went through). When I look in the "stock" messaging app it shows a failed to send message.

Reboot of the phone and everything works just fine all day long.

There's something odd happening during the overnight that was not occurring prior to KitKat.
