Hi there Dumbfish,
If you do indeed have an iPhone 12 mini as your post indicates, then the iOS 14.8 software it's running is considerably outdated and could be contributing to the issue you're experiencing with brightness. We'd suggest updating to the latest iOS version, which is iOS 16.6. If needed, learn how to update your iPhone here: Update your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support
If this behavior persists with your iPhone updated to iOS 16.6, it could potentially be a hardware-related issue. You'll want to reach out to Apple Support for more help with that since they're best-equipped to take a closer look and provide some additional guidance.

Take care.
