kernel panic when waking 2019 MacBook Pro from sleep

Unfortunately the 2019 model seems to be prone to bad Logic Boards. So many people posting EtreCheck reports for 2019 laptop issues seem to always contain lots of those "ProxiedDevice-Bridge" crashes. I'm not exactly sure what they are related to other than possibly the T2 security chip. I've actually seen a lot more Logic Board failures with the 2018+ Macs with a T2 chip than I have ever seen with any older model Apple laptops (including the 2016 & 2017 USB-C models with a T1 chip). Even the "userspace watchdog timeouts" are fairly common in the reports for these 2019 models.

If you disconnect all external devices and run a clean install of macOS and you still get these crashes, then I suspect the Logic Board will be the culprit. This is the only way to differentiate between a hardware or software issue. Testing must done before installing any third party apps and before restoring from a backup.

I think you will need to take the laptop back to Apple for another repair. Keep in mind you have a 90 day part (or possibly repair) warranty depending on how the laptop was repaired.

Personally I really think you do have a hardware issue due to those "ProxiedDevice-Bridge" errors.

FYI, the reason anti-virus apps, cleaning/optimizer apps, and third party security software are such an issue is because they interfere with the normal operation of the OS. They cannot help it as that is what they are designed to do since they have ties to the very innards of the OS where they unfortunately interfere with system stability. Plus they are not needed on a Mac since macOS already has great built-in security especially when the user practices safe computing habits such as those outlined in this article:

I do understand that a school or employer may require the Symantec security software and you have no choice in the matter.

The Symantec software could very well be causing problems and I would recommend uninstalling it since such software is not needed on a Mac, but I realize you don't have that option.

I've seen a lot of users running Cisco Anyconnect seemingly without too much problem. I would consider Symantec more likely to be the culprit if any third party software is causing the problem, but of course the Cisco software is entwined into the lower levels of macOS as well.

Besides, in this case I don't think Symantec or Cisco is the source of the problems since I've seen those error logs on many EtreCheck reports for the 2019 models where people did not have any troublesome apps installed.

Unfortunately the only way to separate out hardware & software issues is by testing the computer with a clean install of macOS without any third party apps installed and without restoring from a backup. This clean install test could be performed by installing & booting macOS from an external USB3 SSD. It is not as definitive as a clean install on the internal SSD since you won't be using the internal SSD when booted from the external drive, but if the clean install of the external drive has the same issues, then you know you have a hardware issue. In the case of a 2018-2020 Intel Mac with T2 security chip, a firmware "Restore" is the best way of performing the test since besides a clean install it also resets the T2 security chip and firmware. You can try a "Revive" which will reset the T2 chip & firmware....it is not supposed to affect the data, but make sure to have a good backup first just in case.

I doubt it has anything to do with 13.3.1(a) since I've seen these error logs posted by so many other users since 2020. The few users who actually followed up later confirmed a Logic Board replacement had been required to solve their reported issue (all involved the same type of logged errors as in your report).

I understand the intermittent nature of the crashes. I can see from the EtreCheck report that it seems like once one crash has occurs that it occurs numerous times in a day or two. Intermittent issues are always the hardest to troubleshoot since you can never be 100% certain when you've actually fixed the problem and it takes lots of testing as well. I can definitely tell you we've had more Logic Boards replaced for our organization's 2018+ T2 Apple Intel models than any other earlier model Macs....and not just the laptops, but iMacs and Mac Minis as well...not necessarily for the exact issue as your laptop. We have a lot more of the 2016-2017 models than we do of the 2018-2020 models, but it is the 2018-2019 models where we have to have the Logic Boards replaced which is very telling in my opinion.

Personally, if the laptop is not still covered by a part/repair warranty, then I would recommend not spending any more money on it and get another laptop. Unfortunately I don't know how well the Apple Silicon Macs are in comparison as our organization does not have enough of them deployed yet, nor have we used them long enough to gain any perspective. It did take a couple of years before we started seeing our 2019 models start to fail. Don't lose out on that 90 day part/repair warranty if you are still within that period from the previous repair.

Thanks for the wonderful follow up details. I hope it may give others hope who find themselves in a similar situation. I'm glad you were able to get the laptop repaired...and even better that they covered the repair for you as well since it is very rare to see Apple extend coverage these days. Here is hoping you can get a lot more years of use from this laptop.
