SOCD report detected: (AP watchdog expired)

Just happened to me for the first time. Green screen followed by restart and SOCD report detected: (AP watchdog expired) message. I'm a video editor, running Mac Mini M1 (2020), working in Premiere Pro 2022 and I have a WD 4TB drive plugged in, which is consistent with other users. Any solutions to avoid this happening again greatly appreciated.

Finally getting so fed up, had to join in the chorus here. Macbook 14, received mid-December 2021, crashes in all situations since receiving it. At least 3 different tickets to Apple support, gathered crash data and uploaded numerous times, no word from Apples 'engineers' that are above the level of phone support.

How hard is it to request a replacement laptop? Makes me want to swear.

Same issue! $2500 M1 Pro 16" laptop keeps crashing for SOCD!

Support is horrific! no fix! and .... no return or replacement!

I wonder if we should reach out to the FTC for a solution! what a shame really.

This happened with my MacBook Pro, M1, today . I had updated to the latest MacOS today, the screen flickered and Mac restarted once with the same error 'SOCD report detected: (AP watchdog expired)'. No External HDD,SDD connected through.

I had this exact crash with zero peripherals connected. No logs were created! Since then, I've had periodic crackling from the speakers when playing audio (again, no peripheral devices have been used).

2020 M1, been happening more and more frequently. The last time the glitchy noise made during the crash blew the left speaker, which now sounds tinny at higher than half volume. I assume I'll be ignored at an Apple store since it's past the 1-year warranty? Pretty crazy to have no recourse for a +$1000 laptop with a clear hardware defect that's damaging other hardware.

I just went through the same event. The computer is a couple of months old, MacBook Air M1, carefully used, and updated. I didn't have any external drive or any periphery at all connected. I was on a Zoom conference, though.

This is very frustrating since I don't see any solution mentioned anywhere.

I bought my M1 Mac Mini almost exactly a year ago in September, new from Apple.

Just today I found that it had restarted and when I went to report the error, all it said was:

"SOCD report detected: (AP watchdog expired)"

Right after the repair coverage expired. I haven't changed the external devices I'm using at all in that year.

I don't use external drives, and I have the same problem, too. I have the iMac M1 16GB with Ventura so suspecting either there is an issue with Ventura or the updates or maybe internal. I hope not the latter.

I bought 16 / 512 M1 mac mini a week ago and now I had my first AP watchdog expired reboot. I don't have any external drives. Only USB device connected is a logitech mouse dongle. OS version is Ventura 13.0.1.

Hello, Im having the same problem every few days. After all those support steps. Question Did it resolve the problem.

Thanks, Thats what we all need to know

I think you were replying to the wrong person. I have not spoken with Support, I was merely stating that I literally just had the same issue...

So, with no drives connected this issue does not happen for you?

And, thus with no drives connected, you cannot perform Time Machine backups, right?

PS: Having the same issue...

Latest update, Apple Support phoned me, and collected various logs (System and via Terminal).

Let's see if the engineers can find anything interesting from the data collected...

Yes, I also have a Western Digital USB drive connected.
