always on display

Got the iPhone 14 Pro Max yesterday and it shipped with iOS 16.0.2. Initially the always on display and dynamic island worked but later in the day I noticed they stopped, meaning the display goes to sleep and there is no activity from dynamic island. Tried rebooting the phone. I don't see any settings for always on display or dynamic island so I don't think they were turned off. With dynamic island I tried streaming Apple Music, Podcasts, using Voice Memo, and unlocking with Face ID. It seems both features worked initially but stopped within hours of first getting the device.

Always-On display goes dark when you don't need it

To save battery life, the display is completely dark when:

Your iPhone is lying face down
Your iPhone is in your pocket or bag
Sleep Focus is on
Low Power Mode is on
Your iPhone is connected to CarPlay
You're using Continuity Camera
You haven't used your iPhone for a while (your iPhone learns your activity patterns and turns the display off and on accordingly, including if you set up an alarm or sleep schedule)
Your iPhone detects that you moved away from it with a paired Apple Watch (Always-On display will turn on when your Apple Watch is close to your iPhone again)

I appreciate you sharing this information, but none of these scenarios apply. Phone is face up on my desk inches from my Apple Watch. No Do Not Disturb/Focus enabled and Low Power Mode is not enabled.
