My iPhone asks for passcode with Face ID

Why is my device asking for passcode pretty regularly? I thought face identification is supposed to be the best out there ?

iOS 17.3 iPhone 15 pro max, seems to asking me to use password to activate Face ID at least every third unlock. It’s really only just begun to happen this month. So just to be clear, it’s not after a restart, it’s not after an update, it’s not after long periods of inactivity. I have reset my Face ID, I have run all the latest updates, yet, it is still happening? Would love a fix, or an idea?
