Daily Crashing of M1 Macbook

My macbook has started crashing daily for the last 2 weeks and it has increased in frequency, I have no idea what's triggering it. Sometimes it does it under light load, sometimes under heavy load.


Here's some of the crash log.

Hi,

Try to start up in Safe Mode then normal boot which could solve your issue.

If it doesn't help, try to check your MacBook with Apple Diagnostics if it reports hardware related error.
