MacBook Pro Auto Brightness Adjustment Not Working

Since my 16-inch MacBook Pro arrived, the automatic brightness has not worked properly, intermittently, that is, at times it does not adjust the brightness according to the ambient light.


In the face of several pieces of evidence and proof showing the defect and the computer still under warranty, they have not provided any solution. I am a customer who has more than $200,000 in Apple devices. Apple's advanced support has not solved the problem.

I never use the auto-brightness setting.


Does manually adjusting the display brightness work as expected...? You do not say.

If it works I would use that if no resolve(?)
