Date and time Text fading in Lock Screen and hard to read

I updated my phoneX to iOS 16 and a couple of days later the date and time on my Lock Screen wallpaper became semi-transparent and is difficult to read. I’ve tried different backgrounds and changing the date & time font and colour and although in the preview it appears normal when I save changes the text is faded and hard to read instead of opaque - as in the picture.

Does anyone know how I can stop this text from fading on the lock screen?

iPhone X, iOS 14
