Macbook bluetooth audio issues 13.5.2

Since I updated my 2021 MacBook Pro to 13.5.2 a few days ago my bluetooth headphones and speaker disconnects after 20-30 minutes - it shows that it is connecting but the audio cuts out and begins playing on the laptop speakers. If I go into sounds and click the bluetooth device it reconnects but I have to do this every 20-30 minutes and it's annoying the **** out of me. Anyone having the same issue?

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 12.0

My problem was perhaps more severe than jnathanielberke, as my bluetooth would disconnect every 15 to 30 seconds or so, and the audio would glitch/stutter often.


Though, oddly enough, when keeping the Sound window open from the System Settings, the glitch stops. I can't multitask, since I need to view the Sound window all the time, and if the glitch left for too long the bluetooth would disconnect.
