My 13" 2017 MacBook Pro's Touch Bar keeps randomly going black after periods of sleep. Restarting the computer fixes the problem, but it seems to be occurring with increasing frequency.

I can't tell if this is the result of a Software Update or not. I am currently running Ventura 13.5.

A potentially related problem, although I'm not sure if it's connected: my regular keyboard has also been quite laggy lately. I went into Accessibility Options and turned on Slow Keys. Not really sure what this is supposed to do, but seems to help a bit. But it feels like a workaround for a symptom of a bigger problem.

On an Intel Mac— do both
