It fixed mine for two days, just last night/this morning the issue has come back.
I just received my 14 pro last week (9/16), worked fine for two day, then the above issues started. Sunday9/25 I updated to IOS 16.2 and it seemed to fix the issue till last night when it did it again. Brightness set to max, using always on display, true tone off, Auto adjust off, using dark background. This needs fixed because I can't see the screen in the morning to adjust in the daylight, have to go into a dark room or basement to see display to adjust. Additional comment is my wife's 11 max is using the same update and just started to mess with her brightness level to make it full bright at night since this update. Not sure of her settings.
It fixed mine for two days, now doing it again after the update to 16.2.
This worked for me. This morning brightness was at the same level I leave it last night.
I will give it a try, thanks!This worked for me. This morning brightness was at the same level I leave it last night.
I did this as well fixed it for a night or 2 and then straight back to the original issue. Its really getting on my nerves.This worked for me. This morning brightness was at the same level I leave it last night.
Worked this morning, we shall see how long it keeps working. Thanks for your input.This worked for me. This morning brightness was at the same level I leave it last night.
Thought it got better had a night or so without issue then POW! right back at it again.
I know it was posted earlier but it might be worth doing a bug report
with Apple here.

I hope it doesn't fly under their radar.

Ditto my issue has also returned after two nights of working fine. Can't help to think its a bug with the always on display. Just a hunch. I did report it as a bug as well on the apple website. The more who report it maybe the sooner they will look into it. I hope!
It’s been happening to me on and off. The last 2-3 mornings it’s been fine. Hopefully it’s something they can fix with an update.
I’m still having problems, but now the issue shifted a little bit. The screen is dim when I wake up, but instead of brightness being turned all the way down, the “meter” in the display and brightness setting remains exactly where I set it, but I need to tap it for the brightness to return. For me this has happened two nights in a row. Anyone else?
Yep. It has happened to me as well. Not always but it does happens. I think it’s due to AOD + Sleep Focus ON.
Same here! As well as my partners iPhone 14 pro max- it's not every morning, but enough to bug the **** out of me. We both have the AOD - on. Called Apple support and they have no idea, but think it maybe the phone case. Tried chagrining without the phone case and it worked fine, but its not every day that this happens with or without the case on.
