Hi!

My 2012 15" rMBP has started having issues with automatic screen brightness getting stuck.

I think the issues started after upgrading to macOS 10.14.2, but I can't really pinpoint the exact time they started occurring. I've done multiple SMC and PRAM resets, these will fix the issue for a couple of hours, but then it returns.

I'm trying to figure out if this is a macOS bug or a hardware issue, and so far I haven't come across other threads about this which is somewhat discouraging. Has anyone else started seeing something like this lately?
 
My new 2018 MBA is backlight flickering with automatic brightness turned on, not sure if that's related or a hardware issues
