Bluetooth crashes in MacOS Sonoma (M1 MacBook Pro)

For me it's actually not working running amfetamine so the MAC stays fully on and then the mouse disconnects and since today it even start fighting with the touchpad even the haptic feedback wasn't responding anymore I had to reset the touchpad and the Magic Mouse. No not the keyboard at home I use a Logitech craft with a dongle. In the office I use the Magic Keyboard and yes then also same problems some time it looks like the keyboard software is stuck you need to reset the keyboard while the mouse was still working and sometime vice versa.

I also have this issue on my MacBook Air M1 with macOS 14.3. It has been a long time. I used to thought that my earphone is having issues. I happened to try the same earphone with my intel MacBook Pro macOS 13.2.1 there is no issue. It is really frustrating there is no fix so far.

My mouse, keyboard and trackpad all disconnect randomly. Doesn't seem to be a pattern to it. The only way to reconnect is to plug the charging cable into all the devices, which sometimes doesn't work.

How is this even an issue? It's absolutely infuriating and mind-boggling that this bug can appear after years of it not even being an imaginable issue. Please fix this ludicrous bug Apple.

I've been having the same issue since I upgraded my Mac Studio M1 Max to macOS Sonoma. The Bluetooth disconnects several times a day. Sometimes it reconnects instantly, but other times it takes several minutes. Losing all peripheral connections in the middle of a Zoom call is as unpleasant as it can be. It's unbelievable that such a serious issue hasn't been fixed for such a long time. At this point, I'm considering downgrading to Ventura. I had Bluetooth issues there too, but they were rare, occurring maybe once a month, and all devices reconnected instantly.

Yes, 14.3 on M1 Mac Studio still has the problem. Bluetooth doesn't leave a crash log, but disconnects my mouse and trackpad after the display goes to sleep. This issue started with Sonoma, not an issue with Ventura.

I cannot believe this, I am back on Ventura 13.6.4 since Saturday and had now twice bluetooth disconnects (once yesterday evening and now again), but this time much shorter than on Sonoma, as soon as there is no response from the mouse or keyboard, you see within 5 seconds the icons pop for each device connected again.

Starting to wonder if it is not 3rd party software messing me around, but never had this last year on Ventura before going to Sonoma. Running same software, obviously just newer versions of them all.

Same deal here. Many times/day - just had 2 instances in <10 minutes:

* Trackpad AND Logitech Trackball (I double-fist) die simultaneously.

* Often, but not always, my display does a quick "wobble" offsetting horizontally as if the Bluetooth module is whacking the display driver (monitor and laptop screen both wobble).

Frustrating.

This is still happening to me on my Mac Studio, constantly, with 14.3.1. Just updated today. This has been happening to me for at least 3 months now. Every update that comes out, I cross my fingers and hope that it fixes the issue, but it doesn't.

To add onto the list of issues, every once in a while when I attempt to use Touch ID after it disconnects/reconnects all my peripherals, the pointer and keyboard are very slow to respond and end up skipping, and once it also disconnected all the devices immediately after they reconnected.

I keep submitting bug reports through Feedback Assistant, but nothing is acknowledged or changed. Why hasn't this been fixed yet? It looks like there's quite a few of us experiencing this.

Did you perform a factory reset of the computer (i.e. have to start fresh and reinstall everything) or a factory reset of the bluetooth settings?

This is a nuclear option and not worth the trouble, and given that it appears so many folks are having this problem, it needs to be a software fix that Apple should investigate and release. Remotely, I'd be curious to see if it's a third party problem, but I couldn't imagine that's the case here.

For myself, I do have a lot of devices connected directly to or indirectly near my Mac Studio. We're talking Magic Keyboard, Magic Mouse, Magic Trackpad, AirPods. Not to mention other Apple devices that have handoff/frequently interact with bluetooth radio indirectly (iPad, iPhone, Apple Watch, MacBook Pro, Airplay devices). It could simply be there's too many devices, and the bluetooth module is overloaded? I'm just spitballing.

Just tried this yesterday. I had high hopes as it worked all day, alas, all my bluetooth devices just quit on me and the came back when I toggled my bluetooth off and on again. It probably "worked" because OnyX forces a reboot, which seems to always set things right for a little while. Too bad...

having this same issue and have tried everything mentioned in this thread including downloading CleanMyMacX.

CleanMyMacX will just make your problems worse. Delete it according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Same issue here -- 64 GB M1 MBP on Sonoma 14.3.1. Tried rebooting bluetooth, deleting preferences file, etc. Nothing's worked so far. I don't actually see these crash reports in my console, but it is disconnecting all bluetooth devices intermittently and then they all re-connect at the same time, implying to me that it is bluetooth crashing.

Onyx utility doesn't help as far as I can see (MacBook Pro M1, Sonoma 14.3.1). Onyx requests reboot and this is what brings temporary relief. But after a while (e.g. system goes to sleep and accessory disconnects) problem returns. :(

I still have this problem and I have tried the OnyX fix too. For some reason it can find my TV but nothing else. My iPhone can find my MacBook but my MacBook can’t find my iPhone or my headphones 🤷🏻‍♀️ SO frustrating!

I really hope it's fixed soon. It's a real productivity nightmare to have your mouse cut out every 15 minutes for no reason. It comes back online by itself after a couple seconds, but having to switch to trackpad for those seconds is just annoying
