MacBook Pro M1 Keyboard Backlight is dimmer/gradient like on the left side

This issue first appeared 6 months ago, after a feq days in was fixed by itself, now after 6 months it reappeared. Is this an issue other people are having, or is it just me. I really dont want to send it back and get another one. Based on my past experience im hoping this problem will fix itself just like the last time. If any one has recomendations on how to fix this problem please let me know

Hi,

Try to check your MacBook Pro with Apple Diagnostics if it reports ambient light sensor error(ALS001).

Use Apple Diagnostics to test your Mac - Apple Support

If it doesn't help, try to make Genius Bar reservation if your local retail AppleStore is open or find local opened Apple Authorized Service Provider to be examined your MacBook Pro there.

Im thinking of resetting my mac to factory settings, erasing everything and reinstalling Monterey, maybe that will return it back to life again
