Anyone having issues with Screen Brightness level resetting?

Is anyone experiencing issues with screen brightness adjusting itself without you changing it? I'm not talking about auto-adjusting from adaptive brightness - I'm talking about the slider moving up on its own. I keep it around 25% or so often to save battery life during heavier usage, and after turning the screen off and checking moments later, the brightness level will be up around 50-75% (it varies). I've only noticed this since the Pie update, and I'm not sure if it happens while adaptive brightness option is turned off. Anyone else have this issue?

Pie made a change were "Adaptive Brightness" literally means the slider moves on its own(and is now the absolute brightness). Its supposed to be more clever than the "offset" style slider we had before because it "learns your preferences" if you move it manually. I guess the idea goes you just keep adjusting it manually if you don't like the setting it chose and the next time it encounters that level of light it uses your setting instead of what it usually would have used. Seems pretty cool to be honest.

Ah, OK, I didn't realize that. It does sound cool, as long as it starts remembering where I like it. I do move it around though during different times/situations, so I may just turn it off and manually adjust when I need to. Thanks for the info.
