M1 MacBook Air with external monitor crashes when sleeping

I've gotten several crashes this way. Almost every time I let my MacBook sleep while connected to the monitor. Here's an excerpt of the crash dump:

Just another follow-up:


I set my M1 power saving settings to default now (turning off the display after 15 minutes and allowing the computer to put the laptop to sleep when the display is off).


I actually tested this by setting it to 1 minute and walking away for 2 hours. Came back after dinner, computer was on the lock screen but had not crashed. (this was the expected behavior)


So, again, setting the DP port on the monitor for the Thunderbolt input to DP 1.2 seems to have resolved the issue for me as well. I still have the it set to DP 1.4 on the standard DP input port on the monitor, which is connected to my PC.


WOOHOO

My issue is not directly the same like yours, but your issue with some kind of crash was helping me.


Since some days I wondered why my Nextcloud Client App is not running. I am using the MacBook Air M1 either as Laptop or closed with an external monitor (BenQ 350r with USB-C). Nextcloud Client ist directly crashing when it start after 1 sec. I searched a bit, I installed a new minor update, etc. With your thread I just tried out what happened when I disconnect it from the external monitor and.... the Nextcloud client keeps running. When I plug the monitor back in and close the Macbook Nextcloud Client crashes again.

Unfortunetely without any error message or hint. So I don't have any logs.


Have a nice day and stay healthy! :)

And 2 more crashes this week...


So many months and updates later still no fix for such a serious problem (Macbooks crashing after sleep for no reason because they are connected to an Apple branded monitor...)


Who shares my opinion that this is totally unacceptable?
