Is there a such thing as a betta automatic feeder as opposed to regular automatic fish feeder

[Navfish]

Since winter break is approaching soon, I am currently looking into options such as an automatic feeder for the time I am gone. However, all the options I am seeing are for a community tank or multiple fish. I have one with me as well and too much food pours out for a betta, which wouldn't be great when I am away. Do you guys have any recommendations?

I usually pay a family member I trust that lives close. I have way too many tanks to trust auto feeders.

How long is your break? If it is under two weeks, there is no need for a feeder. Automatic feeders and a single betta are a risky combo.

The simple answer is "no". Automatic feeders are a pain, and have probably killed more fish than they've supported. They are overfeeding machines, even if you try to set them carefully.

You could look into adjustable-portion feeders, since some models let you set very small amounts for single fish. Another option is asking someone to stop by once or twice just to make sure the betta isn’t overfed while you’re away.
