"try turning it off and then on again" is really genuinely the best solution vastly more often than you expect

yeah like I hit 30 and instantly found napping fixes a lot of things
this just happened to me. my phone flashlight got suddenly dim a few days ago, I thought that somehow one of the diodes died. Today I unintentionally turned the phone off and back on again and it's perfectly fine now.
I make it a habit to reboot my phone at least once a week. Helps things run smoothly.
and if turning it off and then on again doesnt work leave it off for a couple minutes before you turn it back on
So, so many problems are caused by getting wedged in an unanticipated corner of the state space, and cycling gets you out of there. Often even with stuff getting restored, it'll be restored into a now-known-good state, so you can continue without the bad transition that got you there in the first place.
