Mac Studio Bluetooth randomly disconnects from Apple accessories (Magic mouse, trackpad, keyboard)

My Mac Studio randomly disconnects from my Bluetooth magic mouse, keyboard, and Bluetooth trackpad at least once daily, sometimes several times. I often have to plug them back in with a cable to reconnect. All are Apple accessories. Does anyone else have this problem or suggestions on how to fix it?

I have the same issue... I don't believe anything would disturb the devices, as even in a completely secluded mountain hotel, they released my peripherals, like mouse, keyboard, trackpad, 2-3 times a day. Interestingly, it never released the AirPods Pro 2, only the peripherals, even when I only allowed the mouse. There are many similar complaints online. Unfortunately, I haven't found a solution. It's not true that frequency congestion is responsible; I've given it plenty of time to test.

Why do I have difficulty with Wi-Fi or Bluetooth devices when USB 3 devices are attached to my computer?

Some USB 3 devices can generate radio frequency interference that can cause Wi-Fi and Bluetooth devices operating in the 2.4GHz band to have issues communicating with your computer. Here are some tips to avoid this issue:

• If your USB device has a cable long enough that you can move the device, place it away from your Mac—and make sure not to place it behind your Mac, or near the hinge of its display. The antennas for Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are located there, and USB 3 devices placed there might interfere with your wireless connections.

• If you're using adapters or dongles on a Mac computer with Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) ports, plug them into the front port on the left side of your Mac, or into the ports on the right side (if your computer has them). These ports are the farthest away from the antennas, making interference less likely.

• To avoid interference on the 2.4GHz band using Wi-Fi, try using the 5GHz band instead. You can change this on your wireless base station. Bluetooth always uses 2.4GHz, so this alternative isn't available for Bluetooth.
