11pro screen wakes with black screen with white lettering while charging at night

I have found my 11pro screen awake with a black screen and only the white lettering at the bottom and the date. This has happened at night while my iPhone is charging and locked like it normally is but no locked screen wallpaper. This has happened a handful of times to my knowledge, not sure exactly how many times due to I’m asleep. The times I have discovered it doing that the phone stays “awake” til I tap the screen which brings my normal wallpaper wake screen. I have restarted my iPhone and wondering if anyone else has experienced this. Could it be a bug from an update?

iPhone 11 Pro, iOS 17

Same, iPhone 11 Pro Max. Seeming how this will degrade the screen from being on all night, Apple should really prioritize this. The last update didn't fix it though, so apparently they're not.

Mine is doing this as well. It does not matter what kind of charger I use. I have used the usually plug in charger and the one the phone lays on. In both instances the screen goes black with white lettering. If I touch it the wallpaper comes on and then the screen turns off as usual when I press the button on the top right side. Phone still works fine it’s just annoying waking up and my phone is lit up.

Seems to be an issue with the Optimized battery charging notification, many people, myself included always see that notification whenever this happens, maybe try turning it off, I know what your thinking battery degradation, but screen burn in is the real risk of having you display on all night like that, having to change you battery a bit earlier than usual will be worth it to save you from having to change your screen
