MacBook Pro 13 m1 display hinge issue

Hi anyone facing the hinge tightness issue on their 2020 M1 MacBook Pro 13 inch. All of sudden after using it for 3 months, I am unable to open or lift the lid with one hand. I have to use both my hands, one to lift the screen or lid and another to hold the body down. It has got tighten overtime. It was super smooth in the beginning and all of sudden it has got tight. Please respond what to be done.

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.6

Perhaps this is a Faulty Device?:

You have a one-year, out-of-the-box, limited-warranty. So, rather than fiddle with it, contact Apple Support, and get this fixed ASAP. Perhaps this is a faulty device, and it simply needs to be replaced.
