Magic Trackpad haptic feedback not working after Ventura update on Macbook Pro

My laptop: Macbook Pro 15-inch, 2017

macOS: 13.0.1 (22A400)

I updated to the mac os Ventura recently, but the haptic feedback on my Magic Trackpad stopped working. All the clicks are working fine, just the vibration is missing, any help please? (the built-in trackpad on my laptop is working fine)

I've tried to turn off the Magic Trackpad for few hours, and turn it back on. The haptic feedback worked for few seconds, but soon stopped.

Disconnecting the trackpad or restarting the laptop won't help as well.

Same problem with my Macbook. I raised the issue with Apple support, and they concluded that it is an issue with the hardware and already needs repair. I really can't accept that its a hardware problem since it all started malfunctioning after the upgrade only. I notice that it is also random, sometimes working, sometimes not.

Then I recently noticed that the vibration haptics always start to malfunction once sleep mode, or turning off display, or inactive, i dont know which one, but haptics starts malfunctioning always after i don't shutdown and leaving it inactive until displays off or sleeping mode.

Resetting didnt help, both NVRAM and SMC. I don't have bluetooth accessories, so nothing has to be removed.

Then I found what works for me - I will have to drain the battery. Then after charging and starting, it will start to work again. This always works 100% of the time - at least for me.
