Mojave update 2020-002 - reboot on sleep

I am using a 2018 Mac Mini running 10.14.6 with security update 2020-002. 32GB RAM.


Ever since the update, when I put my Mac to sleep - or if it goes to sleep on its own - the machine shuts down after it has gone to sleep, then reboots.


I have done the prescribed resetting of the SMC; I have reset my ethernet adapter (which is my primary network connection), etc. I have not been able to get the machine to successfully sleep.


I should add: when I run


log show --predicate 'eventMessage contains "Previous shutdown cause"' --last 1h


I get:


Timestamp                      Thread    Type       Activity            PID   TTL 

2020-03-26 13:48:37.482116-0400 0xc3      Default    0x0                 0     0   kernel: (AppleSMC) Previous shutdown cause: -20


I have also tried reinstalling 2020-002, and I did an Internet recovery to an earlier state. No change. Then I reinstalled 2020-002 once more. No change. Is it possible that my Mac's firmware got corrupted during the update? (This update behaved in such a way that made me feel like there *might* have been a firmware update, even though it wasn't specifically called out or documented anywhere.)


I have not seen this behavior reported since the update came out. Is anyone else experiencing this?

The suggestion to prevent sleep was intended more as a potential work around for anyone else reading this thread who might be experiencing the same problem. I agree with your original assessment that this appears to be firmware related (BridgeOS). You could try reviving the firmware if you believe that the issue is related to a corruption during update but I personally think we're both out of luck until Apple chooses to address this in a future update.
