To be short, auto brightness is off. True tone is off. Awareness is also off. iOS version 17.5.
While thinking over the crossword puzzle the screen dims. This hasn’t happened before. The only change made was installing TMobile Scam Shield the night before.
But I don’t think an app would cause this? Are there any other settings to look at? And no, the phone is not hot or feel as if it’s overheating.
Many thanks in advance!
iPhone 15 Pro, iOS 17

Seems you may have added an app that runs constantly in the background, always using power ?
You may also have low-power mode on so that the iPhone uses less power, charges less often.
If so, you may want to turn low-power mode off, and / or turn off the app you installed, when you want the screen to stay bright longer.
Apple support's online article: Use Low Power Mode - Apple Support : says:
"Low Power Mode reduces the amount of power that your iPhone or iPad uses when the battery gets low.
To turn Low Power Mode on or off, go to Settings > Battery.
You can also turn Low Power Mode on and off from Control Center. Go to Settings > Control Center > Customize Controls, then select Low Power Mode to add it to Control Center."

It was Auto-Lock! I had set it to Never and somehow it changed itself to 30 seconds. Shoutout to the Genius who knew this right off-the-bat.
Thanks, but Low Power Mode is off. After chat and then phone support I have an appointment at the store today. (Thank goodness for Apple Care!) I’ll let you know how it goes.
Thank you kindly for your reply, and for letting us know you are receiving help from Apple. Cheers :-)
Yay! So glad you to know you have tracked down the solution. Cheers :-)
