Macbook doesn't turn off display after set time

I have a Macbook Pro M1 running Big Sur 11.6. I noticed that it never dims the screen nor turns the display off when on battery or with charger even when I leave it for hours. I set "Turn display off after:" to 1 minute but it still doesn't display off on battery.

Not sure why. Can you help?

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.6

macOS Ventura flickering screen I updated my Macbook Air M1 to Ventura on Monday 24 Oct. Within a few hours my screen started to flicker. I rebuild the machine using a USB drive (Create a bootable installer for macOS - Apple Support) After a few hours it started again. I notice this happens when I am using IntelliJ Idea Ultimate. Has anyone else encounter this issue? Perhaps when doing something that will use up a lot resources? I don't mind going back to Monterey I just hate the long process of rebuilding/setting up a machine.

Cannot toggle "Prevent automatic sleeping on power adapter when the display is off" Off There seems to be a bug in MacOS Ventura. I wanted to download something large overnight, so I toggled on "Prevent automatic sleeping on power adapter when the display is off" which can be found by going to System Settings > Display > Advanced. Now the reason is over, I want to turn it off, however this is not possible. It is like there is an elastic mechanism that keeps the toggle on no matter what I try. Simply pressing on the left part of the toggle doesn't work, dragging the toggle to the off section automatically returns to on immediately. Any help?

Internal display not detected Okay so I put my laptop to sleep and when I opened it again my macbook won't detect internal display, I attached a hdmi cable and it worked perfectly (on the external screen). I'm not sure why my internal screen isn't visible. I performed multiple operations to fix it. Hard reset, installed mac OS again. Everything. Nothing worked. I rebooted to safe mode and the screen came but it was faulty (attached a pic). Can anyone tell me how to fix this?

Solved. Reboot worked as it did for the 89% of the issues here.
