Dynamic Lock is NOT Windows Spotlight. It is a method used to dynamically lock your machine automatically based upon the presence of a device that it periodically checks for the presence of.

As of today dynamic lock stopped working, I’ve reset the settings and re-enabled it, stopped working shortly after again

Check your BT drivers in Windows, and see if they got updated recently? Or, conversely, see if they need to be updated.

Assuming you're using that iPhone for DL, does the iPhone show it is still connected to your Windows machine?

I'll turn mine back on and see if it goes stupid also, so if we both have issues, we can troubleshoot together.

EDIT: It's still on, and strangely enough, I usually have issues where it stops working, but I haven't had that issue in well over a week, I think.

Wait, so DL is working, or not working?

If it is still doing the temporarily working thing, then it is not actually working.
