When my Mac wakes from sleep, Touch ID fails the first time and asks for my password. But if I then hit ESC (thus re-locking screen) and wake it again, Touch ID works, and continues to work fine the rest of the day. Even if I put it to sleep manually (Apple Menu->Sleep), Touch ID works fine on wake; it seems to only happen after a prolonged sleep overnight.

The old rules—
There are a few instances where Touch ID will not be accepted by macOS:
• If you restarted your Mac, or if you're not logged into your user account.
• If you have not unlocked your Mac for 48 hours.
• If you are trying to unlock Security & Privacy
• If you are trying to unlock Users & Groups Preferences (when FileVault is on)
• If 5 wrong fingerprint attempts
maybe something has changed in the new Ventura— I have seen other similar post as yours...

Interesting; but none of those conditions apply here. Also, it's odd that it prompts for TouchID, but the fingerprint fails, but then after ESC/re-wake, TouchID succeeds. I've even tried initially waiting a few seconds before scanning my finger in case the TouchID sensor takes longer to wake for some reason...
Steps to reproduce:
A few other things to note:
Touch ID fails first try after wake from sleep
