Bluetooth constantly dropping since last update

Mouse and keyboard dropping, have to direct connect mouse and keyboard. After several minutes bluetooth wakes up! Have tried SMC reset etc, different mouse, keyboard etc this is definitely an OS update bug. Never happened in past 2 years until recent update about 2 months ago. Come on Apple I buy (expensive) apple goods for Quality and reliability - what's going on?

Monterey Bluetooth issue With the latest update, both mouse and keyboard loose bluetooth connection when computer comes out of sleep mode. I noticed this occurrence with an update of a previous version (Catalina, I think), which was solved with a subsequent update. Only resolution is to turn computer off at the button and restart - very frustrating and inconvenient. Get your act together Apple!!

Poor Bluetooth Sound Quality The issue is intermittent where quality is good and then cuts out like the connection was lost. Same experience with multiple bluetooth devices. I have a bluetooth mouse and keyboard that perform without issue. Any ideas of what is wrong?

Bluetooth stops intermittently on 2018 mac mini. All bluetooth devices (mouse, keyboard, headset, etc.) paired to my mac mini lose connection intermittently for about a minute. It occurs randomly after several hours of use. The disconnection lasts from 10 seconds to about a minute. Then, the devices resume like nothing happened, except for the headset which disconnects and reconnects. There is no message about mouse or keyboard losing connection or re-connecting, the mouse stops movement and the keyboard won't type. The apple keyboard caps-lock key goes green and won't toggle. This has been happening since the mac mini was new June 2020. I current use a USB keyboard and it continues to type while the magic-mouse and BT devices are hung. Mac mini (2018), 64GB RAM, 2TB SSD, 3.2 GHz 6-Core Intel Core i7, macOS 11.2.1 Big Sur.
