Magic keyboard not lighting up

Just got the new 2021 iPad Pro and magic keyboard. The keyboard backlight is not working. I tried to adjust the keyboard brightness in settings, and the option is grayed out. How do I fix this? Or, did I get a dud and need to exchange it?

iPad Pro, iPadOS 14

The keyboard suddenly stopped working recently, after a year of having to adjust it only once (Settings> General> Keyboard>Hardware Keyboard), but now it wont work. The keys and the track pad are fine, its just the backlight wont come on.
