Screen dims way too low sometimes

Sometimes in darker areas the display of my 16PM dims completely dark. To the lowest low of the display adjustement. So dark it’s getting hard to see anything. The next day in the same area the display is perfectly visible. It also dims, but not near as low as the day before. That happens 2 or 3 times a month. Has anyone experienced that or is it only me? I didn’t find much about that problem online but it feels like a software bug.

iPhone 16 Pro Max, iOS 18

The following is extracted from an Apple article --> Keep the iPhone display on longer – Apple Support (MY)


"The display automatically turns off when iPhone is either face down or obstructed from view, not near a paired Apple Watch, when a CarPlay session begins, while Continuity Camera is in use, while Low Power Mode is on, while Sleep Focus is on, or at your usual bedtime."


"On supported models, the Always-On display setting allows a dimmed version of your Lock Screen to stay visible, even when your iPhone is locked. By glancing at the dimmed screen, you can check essential information, like notifications, the date and time, and information in your widgets."
