I am not able to change the time out setting on my iPad as the option is greyed out. I have read prior answers to this issue and do not have lower mode or parental controls on. Any other ideas?
iPad, iPadOS 15
If you go to Settings>General, do you see a command for Profiles? If not, check with your IT department, they would be the one that would control that if they have that setting adjusted.

Apologies Chris - we have now resolved this. For anyone else, please double check the low power mode button. Apparently this had been engaged a few days ago when the battery was low and I’m guessing it doesn’t automatically reset following recharge.
Thanks everyone for this thread.
Do you happen to have a work email account on the device?
What would affect the “ability” to change the auto-lock? My MiL is also having this problem with the greyed out autolock and she desperately wants to change it from 2 mins and we can’t work out what settings will allow her to do this. I’m stumped as my iPad is fine.
TIA
Hello yes I do, and just added the outlook app for my work email. I didn’t see any profiled or certificates or anything installed when I did this. If it is related to the work email, can it be modified?
If you have the ability to change the Auto-Lock setting, it is located in Settings>Display & Brightness>Auto-Lock. If you do not have a profile in Settings>General, that just means that you do not have a profile on your device. Profiles will only appear if you have one installed.
how do I change Auto lock on iPad which is set to 2 mins…can’t find Profile in Settings/General.
Auto lock set to 2 minutes and can’t change on ipad
