How to extend auto-lock on an iPad?

My autolock on an iPad is set for two minutes, but I want to extend it. However, it’s grayed out and will not allow me to change it. What do I need to adjust?

iPad auto-lock will be fixed at two minutes if you have enabled Low Power mode:

Settings > Battery > Low Power Mode - set to OFF

You might also check that Date & Time and TimeZone are also correctly set for your iPad - as these settings are known to cause various functional issues if incorrectly configured:

Settings > General > Date & Time
