Ask for more. Keep asking. Ask if you can help someone. Ask people about their jobs.

Treat an internship like a job interview. Do the tasks well, quickly, and keep asking for more - they're very likely to offer you a full job at the end of it, and one where you're doing a lot more than menial tasks.

Network with other teams. See if they have things for you to do

Ask for read access to the codebase and start trying to figure out how stuff works

Get access to the ticket backlog and see if there is anything you can do. You can often find some easy shit no one wanted to do.
