I have a 2013 Thunderbolt Display that has been a problem-free champ for my small business. For the past year, I have used it with a 2020 Mac Mini M1. A week ago it started blinking on and off. I have checked all the connections, but that hasn't changed anything. Is it time to buy a new monitor?
It could be the cable or your TB3 to TB2 adapter. I would get a TB cable and connect directly to the open TB port on the monitor. This will validate if the octopus cable is bad. Also try another adapter (I know not cheap).

I have one also and lately especially with the newer macOS its acting wonky. I'm looking for a new display.
Currently I do use a Dell U3219Q which has worked fine from Sierra thru Monterey. Its 4k and sleeps well with Mac. Even its 27 inch 4k cousin works well.

I had the exact same thing happen with my TB display which was the built in cable which was failing. I purchased a Thunderbolt 1/2 cable and plugged it into the open TB port on the back of the display and have used it that way ever since.
Thanks. I waited to get past the Christmas crush and have ordered a TB cable. Will try your suggestion and hope for the best.
