macOS lags when adjusting keyboard brightness

MacBook Pro M1: when I'm adjusting the keyboard brightness from the touchbar (I didn't notice the issue when using the software slider) the whole system starts lagging for some seconds.

I didn't notice CPU/RAM usage peaks during the lags.


Software: macOS Big Sur 11.5.1 (20G80).


Thanks in advance.

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.5
