This is known old issue which has been resolved in recent kernels. Could be regression that only trigger in certain odd circumstances?  
Regardless, [workaround should still be the same as before.](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Framework_Laptop_13#Changing_the_brightness_of_the_monitor_does_not_work)

Create the following file in arch and reboot.

```auto
/etc/modprobe.d/framework-als-deactivate.conf

blacklist hid_sensor_hub

```
