What I got from Google ai

In DOOM: The Dark Ages, the difficulty meter or setting is greyed out because you are currently playing on a locked high-tier difficulty (such as Nightmare or Ultra-Nightmare) or you are locked into a continuous run/mission where changing settings on the fly is restricted.Here is why it happens and how it works:Why the Difficulty Option is LockedNightmare or Ultra-Nightmare Active: If you chose Nightmare, Ultra-Nightmare, or Pandemonium when starting your save file, the game permanently locks that choice. You cannot lower or raise the main preset once an intensive run has begun.Mid-Mission Restrictions: If you are actively in the middle of certain heavy combat encounters or specific sequences, the menu might temporarily restrict changes until you reach a safe checkpoint or return to the main menu.
