Bluetooth keeps disconnecting and reconnecting once in a while

Hi,

on my 13" MacBook Pro 2019 all of the bluetooth devices, such as mouse, keyboard, bluetooth speaker or AirPods, when connected for a while, disconnect for about 30 seconds and it reconnect after that. I wonder whether it is Catalina problem (I have latest public release), or if it could be a hardware problem, when it is getting warmer or so?

It is annoying, for example when I have online meeting and the AirPods disconnect, I do not hear anything for 10 seconds before it switches the audio to MacBook speakers, then I hear 10 seconds audio via the speakers, then the AirPods are reconnecting again and I hear nothing for another 10 seconds. After that the AirPods works fine. This happens every once in a while, maybe once per hour or once per two hours of working on the laptop. The same is happening with all the bluetooth devices at the same time, so while I am not hearing anything, my mouse does not work and my keyboard does not work as well. I still can use touchpad and the MBP keyboard, but it is really annoying to switch for 30 sec or so.

Any help or advice on that?

Thanks!

MacBook Pro 13”, macOS 10.15

Hello,

So over past month or so I tried all the suggestions you have offered, but it does not seem to help. The bluetooth is still disconnecting from time to time, even when I run only on Ethernet with Wi-Fi disabled on my laptop. Could that be a hardware problem?

Thanks anyway for your suggestions.

Kind Regards.
