Bug Description

When leaving my laptop idle, the screen stays at a constant brightness forever. I have System Settings configured to "Lock when idle" after 2 minutes, but that doesn't happen. Adjusting the screen brightness manually doesn't do anything.

Expectation:
Screen dims after a short period of time, and turns off (and locks) after the configured 2 minutes of inactivity.

Actual:
Screen stays on and at the same brightness indefinitely.

Yup, that would be a bug in powerd which runs/works only on Android-based environments currently :/
