Delay Until Repeat Keyboard preference does not persist

MacBook Pro 14" /M1 Pro running MacOS 12.1. The Delay Until Repeat preference in the Keyboard System Preference keeps resetting on its own to a medium-length delay, which must be the default. I keep resetting it, and it keeps going back within a few hours. No change upon rebooting. I've considered trying to reset the NVRAM, but the info out there on doing this with an M1 doesn't exactly breed confidence; I don't see anything I'd consider definitive.

You can’t reset the SMC, because the M1 Mac doesn’t have a System Management Controller. You can’t manually reset the NVRAM / PRAM because your Mac does this automatically, if needed, during every startup or reboot.

Verify your macOS is up to date. The curent Monterey macOS 12.2.1
