Frozen Turn display off when inactive option

I'm using Mac Studio with Sonoma 14.4, and my display seems to be set to be turn display off when inactivated for 5 min.

The problem is I can't modify the time because it's grayed out.

Tried to find options in others, such as Energy Saver or Screen Saver, but couldn't find anything to fix this issue.

Does anyone know how to fix this? Or is this a bug?

"Turn display off when inactive" doesnt work in Ventura I noticed that setting "Turn display off when inactive" time in Ventura doesn't work. I set it to 1 minute, wait 1 minute with no keyboard pressing and mouse moving and display is still on. System restart doesn't help. I remember I had similar problem in previous version of macOS, but it was random and restart helped. Is there any way to check in the terminal what time of "Turn display off when inactive" has been set? Is there any way to check internal system inactivity counter with terminal?

Mac Studio-System Preferences - Energy I have a new Mac Studio driving a new Studio Display. All the energy saving features worked from April until July, but now the timed setting for turning the screen off does not work. I've tried every combination of the check boxes in that preference....no change. I can make the computer go to sleep by selecting the SLEEP option under the Apple Icon. I can make the computer go to sleep by using the 'COMMAND/OPTION/EJECT' keys on my Apple Numeric keyboard The computer will not go to sleep nor will the screen go blank when the Energy Timer times out. Why this started in late July, I have no idea. My 2015 iMac still works perfectly in this regard. I didn't see this specific problem anywhere else in the forum and thought I would see if anyone knows what I should try next. I'm running the latest Monterey, 12.5.1 Jack

Not save battery turn-display-off-after on MacOS Monterey. Turning-off-display-after setting Never position the Battery and Power adapter, If I turn off and then turn it on again or restart it, the Never position is set to 15 minutes. I tried OS update and NVRAM/PRAM, it was not solution.
