Screen brightness not restored

So I have laptop with Fedora 38 and the problem I have is that the
screen brightness is not restored to its previous level after it has
been locked.

I have it set so that the screen dims after a few minutes, if I then
touch the keyboard the brightness goes back to its previous level. If
I'm away longer the screen locks and I have to enter my password to
unlock. Then the screen remains dimmed and I have to press just once
either the key for more brightness or less brightness for the screen to
regain its previous brightness. 

Not the biggest problem in the world but any way to solve it?

You need to say which desktop environment you have, because the details
differ, but generally look under Power Management or similar for the
configuration options.

I have Gnome 44.4 and the Windowing System is Wayland

In Settings -> Power I have 

Dim Screen is enabled
Screen Blank set to 5 minutes
Automatic Power Saver is enabled
Automatic Suspend is set to When on battery power

Seems fairly self-explanatory. Just change what you want e.g. you'll
need to use a password after Screen Blank, but not after Dim Screen.

Just experiment to find what suits you.

Did you bother to read the problem description or are you saying it's
expected behaviour?

Apologies, I hastily assumed you didn't know how to change the
settings, but clearly what you are seeing isn't (or shouldn't be)
'expected behaviour'.
