AOD turns off in low light - VZW Note 8

[Android Central Question]

I have noticed on my Note 8 that the AOD turns off in low light and darkness. This is frustrating because I use it for a night clock. I have checked and the AOD is set to 'Show Always' and Auto-brightness is turned off. It will stay on for a minute or 2 then go off completely. I can pass a light source over the screen and it comes back on.

There is a setting for your screen to turn off if it's in your pocket, even if you have aod. This nightime scenerio you have may be a simple check box.
