iOS 8.2 auto lock: can't extend beyond 5 minutes

I just installed iOS 8.2 on iPad air2 and noticed that in the Auto lock section (through Settings/General) only shows 2 choices: 2 minutes and 5 minutes. Quite odd.
How can I add more choices, in particular "Never" which can be useful sometimes?

Try rebooting your phone. What you are seeing is not normal. Should be anywhere from 1 to 5 minutes as well as never

Hi phreddyl , i've tried that already but no change.
I was wondering if it might be linked to a 'battery-saving' feature but couldn't find the option anywhere.

No, it's not that either, colleagues have the standard settings on their iPad

Had the same problem, fixed it now. Trick is to delete any 'profiles' you don't need. Settings > General, then scroll down to Profiles. I deleted an old VPN profile I no longer use, and also some kind of Google app thingy. Suddenly I got all the options for screen lock including Never.
