Is your MacBook Pro an Intel or Silicon (M-series) model?


Regardless, I suggest starting by resetting the Mac's SMC: Reset the SMC of your Mac - Apple Support


Next, I would suggest that you run Apple Diagnostics to see if there are any potential hardware issues with your Mac: Use Apple Diagnostics to test your Mac - Apple Support
