This just started happening within the last couple weeks. Have not had this happen for the past couple years of always on display

At night, if I wake up in the middle of the night and glance over at my charging stand to see the time, the screen is completely black. It used to always be on and dimmed (portrait mode, not bedside clock mode).

The same thing happens when I’m watching TV or playing a game for a while. I’ll glance over at the phone to see the time, but the screen is unexpectedly off.

I have adaptive power mode disabled. Always-on display is on. Auto-brightness is off.

What is going on? iPhone Air on 26.1.

This never happened to me on previous phones (15 Pro and 16 Pro).

Is there a setting I’m missing somewhere? It’s driving me crazy.
