See image for my current settings in System Settings => Lock Screen I don't really understand what I'm seeing. This is on Sonoma 14.0 M1 Max MBP. The Mac is plugged in.

When the computer is idle for 60 seconds, it goes to what I have screen saver set to which is different from the wallpaper. It does this by going completely black for maybe a second and then the screen saver starts. After another minute plus about 11 seconds, the screen goes black. The 11 seconds is consistent, weird, but it doesn't bother me. When I touch the keyboard, it asks for my password. All that seems fine.

When I do Apple => Lock Screen I get the wallpaper with the clock but I only get it for 30 seconds and then the screen goes black. I can't figure out where the 30 seconds is coming from. I'd like to change it if possible.
