Touch ID not responsive

Hello guys! Sometimes, when I try to use Apple Pay, my Touch ID button is not responding, even though it asks for my fingerprint. But when I lock the MacBook or want to get access in a website, my Touch ID is working perfectly. Thoughts?


I use a MacBook Air Late 2020, M1 Chip.

M1 chip - Shutdown and connect to Charger without any external drives attached. Hold the Power Button / Touch ID for 10 seconds. Perform this action three times in a row - test again.
