Always On Display turns off in darkness GS7 EVEN WITH KEEP SCREEN TURNED OFF DISABLED

[AC Question]

I have an issue with my Galaxy S7 and it is driving me crazy. If I am in a low lit room (not that dark) or have the lights turned off the Always On Display turns off after about a minute. If I turn a bright light on it turns itself back on. I have tried clicking the function KEEP SCREEN TURNED OFF and making sure that setting is disabled but it still turns off in low light. It also sometimes is very dim until I put it on to the Samsung brand induction charger. The big issue is that it turns off at night or when it is on my nightstand but then turns back on when I turn on the bedside light. How the heck do I turn that sensor off? It never did this before the operating system updated to Nougat, and now I can't get the thing to work the one time I want it to, when it's my bedside clock. Please help!!!

I think that it may be a power saving feature. I notice when I take mine out of my pocket or it is in a dark place, it is off, then will come on when light hits it. It should stay on all the time while charging though, i use mine as a bedside alarm clock while charging.
