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 disabled the dimming because often it would not return it back to 100% for some reason. Dunno. One of those KDE things.

      What confuses me is that the dimming is set to 70%, not the 20% it comes back at. And only if I leave it overnight or something, not if I just set the timer to 1 minute and test it.

        I think mine went to 70% or something, even though I had it set to 100%. I don’t know for sure though, because the weird thing was that the slider in the tray icon was still at 100%. So I had to “reduce” the brightness and then max it out again to reach proper 100%.
