Dora is of course correct! In steady state cruise prop pitch barely moves. The fun begins when you add power, reduce speed or come back to flight idle.
Years ago while ferrying an old Vickers Viscount I got to test the auto feather system, and its ability to prevent remaining engines auto feathering following failure.
Long story which I have related here somewhere in the past.
