Weird screen glitch on M2 MacBook Air when turning back on from 1%

It’s only happened a couple of times and it may be a bug but I’m not sure. But I got a M2 MacBook Air about 2-3 weeks ago up from a i3 MacBook Air and I like the fact that once it reaches 1% it automatically put it to a temporary sleep, so that when you plug it back in you don’t have to reopen everything. But when this has happened, sometimes something weird goes on with the screen.

It does this when loading to the log in screen. It doesn’t affect it at all, I’m just stating that this is happening.

then at the login screen sometimes it has this..

Whether this is normal bom not entirely sure but it doesn’t seem it. As I said it doesn’t affect anything in anyway I don’t think. And after you log in it does go back to normal until it happens again. The glitch thing doesn’t happen all the time btw. I’m just wondering if this is something to do with the Mac itself or the update and/or etc.

Thanks 😊

MacBook Air, macOS 13.4

I've also experienced the same problem when my Mac is used until very low battery. The screen flickers black for a second or two before coming back. When I connect the charger, the top and bottom parts of the screen start flickering pink and there is a weird red glitch box thing in the middle of the screen. The pink flickers went away after a minute or so while the red glitch box remained for around 5 minutes (as I downloaded the latest software update).


Wondering if it's something I need to send it for repair for, or just make sure I don't drain the battery to low %?
