Airdrop "no one nearby" message

My phone was beside my laptop but it was invisible for uploading photos from the phone using Airdrop.. I was signed in on both devices. It turns out the photos appeared in Photos anyway but I am puzzled why I saw the "no one nearby" message.

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 12.0

If the display is off, then you lose the connection.
