SOCD report detected: (AP watchdog expired)

I am having this exact issue on my Mac mini M1 16GB / 1TB NVme

Has anyone seen what the fix is? Or do we have to go through Possible Fix 1 through whatever?

I can't afford the down time re-installing the OS and restoring from Time Machine backup....

This problem is only getting worse. Disabling SIC did nothing for me, and it's still as bad as ever. How this issue continues to be such a problem within the community with no fix is mind boggling. Has crashed 3 times in the past 6 hours.

I bought the new Macbook Pro with M1Max on the day of the launch (2021-10-26).

During the last 4 weeks, I've seen this crash at least 5 times.

I haven't had any external drives connected except for the first week (And back then, I didn't see any crash). In fact, I've had very few external devices connected at all. Most of the time, i have only the charger connected. Today, it happened on battery (Not a single cable connected).

So sadly, this seems to happen on the M1 Pro chips as well. Anyone else seen this on M1Pro/Max?

As an aside, isn't rather likely that "SOCD report detected: (AP watchdog expired)" basically just means that something in the M1 SOC has gone sour, and caused a watchdog reboot?

I mean, it could be that we're looking at (possibly a lot of) different issues, some of which may be related to USB, while others are not? Perhaps that's why the experience varies a bit.

For me, it seems pretty random. The common denominator I can think of is that I have Parallels machines open, but I pretty much always use parallels for work, so it might also be totally unrelated.

It happened twice this week - a random reboot while computer was not actively being used. Not only has problem not gone away or gotten better with multiple OS updates, anecdotally it has gotten worse on my M1 Mac Mini running latest Big Sur. (Can't switch to Monterrey yet since hardware/software I need is not yet compatible.)

I bought a Macbook Air 2020 M1 4 months ago and have not had any problems until yesterday, when it just completely shut down and will not restart. I had just updated the OS last week to the newest system, the battery was at 60%, and I did have a USB port plugged in at the time of the crash. Now it's a paperweight. Taking it into the shop tomorrow to see what can be done.

I have not to seen this issue since 12-20. I have an NVME TB drive and an NVME USB drive and DVD drive attached at all times. I also have a TB dock and USB 3.2 dock attached and no issues. Started with Big Sur and now Monterey.

I purchased an M1 MBAir in October 2021 and it was rock solid until early December when I started to get unexplained crashes and Kernel Panics. Today was the first SOCD report detected: (AP watchdog expired). No devices were attached and the machine was just sitting idle with Mail and Safari open in the background. I am running OS 11.6.2 with 16 GB x 1TB.

Всем привет, я купил MAC 15.11.2021 работаем классно но однажды я работал открыто было safari, chrome, yandex, telegram, и я смотрел видео через safari - вдруг экран зеленый и перезагрузила - теперь что сним делать атак продолжает работать вроде. Ничего не надо делать ???

Woke up today to the SOCD report detected: (AP watchdog expired) error. This was the first time it has happened on my 2020 Mac Mini M1 (purchased last March).

Big Sur 11.6. Peripherals are OWC Thunderbolt hub with external TB SSD attached but not on. Loxije D3 DAC connected via USB directly to the Mini. Old Apple Thunderbolt display connected with Apple TB2 - TB3 adapter and with Apple USB keyboard and a Logitech marble mouse plugged into it. Also connected is an Apple BT trackpad. Nothing has changed in months, no new hardware or software and all peripherals were turned off except the OWC Hub.

I just wanted to add some more data to this thread. Hopefully this isn't the start of something bad. So far the Mac Mini has performed flawlessly. I will also send in a support request since the more they get the more attention this may get.

Mine crashes a few times a week. Sometimes several times a day. There does not seem to be any reason or logic to when it chooses to crash. Battery level is unimportant as mine crashed a couple of minutes ago at 100% battery level. Just updated to OS 11.6.3 and it did not fix the problem.

I don't think it has anything to do with peripherals. My M1 MBA just did it again with absolutely nothing attached. Most of the time, for me, that is the case. While I love the performance and battery life of the M1 MBA, I have not had a Mac that was this unstable since installing OSX 1.0 on the Blue and White G3.

Good morning, same problem. I have a MB pro 2012 M1, purchased in October and it is the first time that it happens to me, block and restart the computer. I have an external hard drive connected to the WD Elements. I have the equipment updated to the latest version Monterrey 12.2

It continues to happen to me once a day when I'm away from my Mac for several hours. My Mac crashed like 20 times now...

And did you guys try to call apple ? What is the answer ? I guess nothing has worked so far...

I'll call them today. I'll let you know.

Is it possible to have access to the crash history ?

Are you running Big Sur or Monterey? I'm running the latest version of Big Sur and have had this problem for a year. I only saw the error page with this error this morning but my Mac Mini M1 has been rebooting every few days the entire time we have had the computer.
