I've been having an issue with my iPhone 8 screen not auto sleeping ever since I got it.

I have Auto-lock set to 1 minute, like I always have. Did a clean install for iOS 11, yet I realized the bug right away. I thought it would be fixed with 11.0.1, 11.0.2, but it wasn't. Now it did seem to go away when upgrading to 11.1, however the issue is now back all of a sudden (still on 11.1)

It's pretty annoying when your phone is in your desk at work and because you got a single notification at some point, the screen remained on from that point onward, draining a crap ton of battery.

I've already fidgeted with the settings (adjusting to 2 minutes, and then after no change, back to 1 minute).

Any suggestions? Really don't want to do another clean install, but curious if others have this same issue. It seems like a pretty big bug.
