Touch Bar flashes after update macOS

I updated a 13 inch MacBook Pro with an M1 processor to Mac OS 13.6.1. After this, the touch bar began to flicker. Restarting the Mac doesn't help. The touch bar itself works, but it flickers annoyingly, it has become impossible to work

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 13.6
