Hello everyone, I have a problem with the USB stick, after about 15 minutes it disappears from the finder and even inserting it again does not work. I use a usb-c adapter
MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 11.5

When a drive is improperly ejected it can corrupt the file system on the drive. You can try running Disk Utility First Aid on the USB stick.

If this works, then perhaps you have a bad USB adapter, a bad port on the laptop, or a bad USB stick, or possibly another connected device is causing the problem.
You may have a bad USB stick. Unfortunately the quality of USB sticks is extremely poor. Try using another USB stick, maybe even another brand of USB stick.
Edit: Try using another USB-C port especially on the other side of the laptop if you have the four port model. Also try rebooting the laptop.
