How do I increase auto lock time on iPad display/brightness settings?

At the diaplay/brightness setting, my “auto lock” function is grey and is set at 2 minuts. It would not allow me to chnage it from 2 minutes to 30 minutes. How do I control this function now? How to stop my iPad screen going dark too quickly when it is not in use?

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

Settings > Battery > Low Power Mode


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
