I have the same experience. Dark mode automatically turns on way later than I’d like it to.

From the article: "It is an alternative to the built in macOS automatic mode which only switches when the user steps away from the computer."

If I set up night shift, it will switch to dark mode at the time I set, but it also tints my screen (even subtly, if I turn the slider all the way down), which I don't care for as someone who does art.
