  Night Light occasionally gets stuck

Bug description:
  [ Impact ]

  Since installing Ubuntu 24.04, every now and then Night Light gets
  stuck when my screen is locked at night and I unlock it in the
  morning. The screen is then very orange (more so than normally is the
  case with Night Light), and disabling it with the button in in the top
  bar menu does nothing.

  The only ways to restore the screen to normal are disabling and
  enabling the colour profile or running `gdbus call -e -o
  /org/gnome/SettingsDaemon/Color -d org.gnome.SettingsDaemon.Color -m
  org.gnome.SettingsDaemon.Color.NightLightPreview 1`

  [ Test Plan ]

  Unknown. Requires OP verification.

  [ Where problems could occur ]

  Night light and colour profiles are one in the same feature so
  touching one always risks affecting the other. Since all such gamma
  changes get committed along with other screen updates, there is the
  risk (particularly with atomic mode setting) that a mistake in any one
  change will cause the entire screen update to fail, resulting in black
  frames.

  [ Other Info ]

  I have never been able to find anything remotely relevant in any
  system logs regarding this issue. It also does not happen every day,
  but probably once every seven to ten days or so.

  My PC has an AMD RX550 GPU using the amdgpu driver. I'm not sure if it
  makes a difference, but so far I've not seen this problem on my other
  machines with Intel IGPs.
