USB ports lose power charging ability on M1 MacBook Pro

Hi all:

I've seen this posted before but referring to a MacMini M1. There was no solution listed other than "don't put your MacMini to sleep" which is a ridiculous response to a very legitimate problem and a workaround at best. For a MacBook Pro, it does go to sleep when you close the clamshell which is one of the features of a laptop--you take it to other places and it needs to be closed when that happens.

Nonetheless, whenever I close my Macbook Pro to transport it to another location (which I do daily) and then re-open it, the USB ports no longer draw power nor produce power. The only way to fix it is to restart the computer after which the ports work fine. In the various locations that I use my MBP, I have USB charging cables which work perfectly well, most of the time. One location has a projector and a USB cable (with charging ability) that connects to the projector and charges the laptop at the same time. Another location has a short USB cable so I can connect quickly and without a nest of cables. etc. When the laptop wakes up from sleep, the charging ability stops working. Also, connected USB devices (iPhones) will also stop charging as well.

Does anyone know of a legitimate way to fix this problem? And please, no responses like "don't put it to sleep."
