bluetooth intermittent - disconnects from devices and cannot reconnect

I will be working and suddenly there is a prompt the keyboard lost connection, then the mouse.


I turn the devices off and back on and they will not reconnect. (waiting 20 minutes)


I either shut down with the hard way, or connect a wired mouse and reconnect the devices manually.


charge is at 80% for each device.


what is going on? this started happening in May of 2019 and beginning to happen more often.

iMac 27", macOS 10.13

Do you have Android File Transfer on your Mac? If so, remove it, this has definitely been a cause for bluetooth issues. Once I removed it I no longer had bluetooth issues.
