Budgie 10.6.1 is well out of date—it came out two years ago. Regardless, this is unlikely to be an issue with Budgie itself, and more likely to be an issue with the GNOME stack and Mutter and gnome-settings-daemon. Budgie itself doesn't handle screen dimming on idle. I would be interested to see if this still happens if you upgrade to Ubuntu 24.04, though, since that has a much newer Budgie and GNOME.

upgrade to Ubuntu 24.04 for me means "remove flatpak, install snap..." Let's try it out still, if it might fix this problet
