I’m not sure if this is related to Night Light (which I don’t have enabled) or even just the monitors dimming in power settings, but I constantly have to go and bring my brightness back up from 20% when I sit down at my computer in the AM.

I have disabled Sleep as well, and the only thing left is the regular Energy Saving features of dimming after X minutes and Turn Off Monitors after X minutes, but I’ve set both of those to short timeouts and when it comes back, it’s at 100%.

Edit: For some reason I was on X11. I’ve switched to Wayland and will see if that changes anything.

Any ideas what’s causing this?

    I’m having similar. When machine dims the display, it’s changing my monitors brightness and doesn’t bounce back.

      I just realized I was on X11 when I checked logs. I’m going to try it on Wayland (which is what I normally use) and see if it continues.

      What I did notice is that changing my Dim settings to 1 minute and letting it take effect to test did not seem to make it happen. It seems like it takes longer, like overnight.

    Here are the settings I used to stop this from happening.
