Screen brightness randomly dims IPhone 17 pro max

My Screen brightness is randomly turning all the way down the last few days. Auto brightness is turned off. This happens when I’m trying to open my phone mostly. Face ID is on. I have the brightness controller on my control center. And I moved it to a different spot thinking that might have been the issue but it still does it. And I’ve had it there for many years. Is anyone else having this issue?


iPhone 17 pro max with latest iOS.
