Since kernel 6.5, monitor brightness is set to 100%, and cannot be changed: The brightness controls have disappeared from Settings, and brightness doesn't respond to the keypad controls.
See the attached screenshot, showing the difference between the settings in kernels 6.2 and 6.5.
This applies to Ubuntu 22.04 and 23.10, whether using Wayland or X.Org.
It's possible (when using X.Org) to adjust the brightness with…
$ xrandr --output [monitor] --brightness [brightness]
e.g. on my machine…
$ xrandr --output eDP-1 --brightness 0.5
… but, unfortunately, it doesn't last long — anywhere between a less than a second later and about a minute later, the screen reverts to 100% brightness.
As a workaround, I am running the following command in the background…
$ while true; do xrandr --output eDP-1 --brightness 0.5; sleep 1s; done
… which results in the screen at the correct brightness, but frequently flashing!
Tested on:
• Ubuntu 22.04
— Kernel 6.2.0-39 and prior works correctly
— Kernel 6.5.0-14 has the problem
• Ubuntu 23.10
— Kernel 6.5.0-9 has the problem

• See comment #7 — This is somehow linked to the Night Light.
• Even when Night Light is permanently turned off, the screen still (sometimes; it's intermittent) goes bright when…
— Playing a video full screen (e.g. VLC, YouTube).
— Chrome gives a pop-up dialogue (e.g. downloading) or a notification (e.g. Calendar notification).
