After sleep in Sonoma Control Center Icon and Clock is Missing

My solution was to create an Apple Script in Automator to force close the Control Center (see screenshot) - which now sits in the Dock. Whenever the Control Center is acting up and date/time etc. start disappearing, I double click the script and it all goes back to normal. If anyone has other solutions (possibly launching this script automatically when a % of the memory is affected?) I would be curious to hear them. Hopefully a next update will fix this and not ruin even more features ... :-(

I have the same issue and I have OneDrive, SnagIt, Postgres, F-Secure and the rest are Apple items. Clock is gone. This is a bug dude and the sandboxing is enough to prevent one app from stepping on another. It happened after the latest update to Sonoma so don't treat this as the user's fault. "Oh you're just holding it wrong" ...the apps there were the same before an update of versions of Sonoma. Not a new OS, but new versions of Sonoma. So they worked, the clock worked, then it didnt. It is a bug.

I am having the same issue with my MacBook Pro (it's a 2019 one) but contrary to what others are sharing, I don't have a bunch of additional status icons to push it out of the way.

Annoyingly, it also doesn't seem to resolve with a restart 🥲

Same here on an iMac Pro. I need to force kill the Control Center process every time after the display goes to sleep, when I need to lock the screen, and sometimes without no apparent reason. Apple Support told me I need to erase the mac, revert to Sierra OS (original mac os) and then upgrade all the way up to Ventura. What a crappy system they have now. Even Windows allows rolling back small updates. For me everything started after the last "critical" update. Very disappointing.

Educated guessing.

See if you have the same issue while in Safe Mode. If not, it's one or more of the items you have installed.

Use safe mode on your Mac - Apple Support

I cannot gid rid of that problem despite of all the recent updates. Using an Apple Pro Display XDR with iMac Pro. Other than Apple's stuff, i jave One Drive, SnagIt and Avg on the bar. I have Cinch and HyperDock running in the background too. When I use the BlackMagic EGpu this problem goes away but after a while, the videos running on the monitor become "VHS" like and I have to restart the iMac. Very annoying. Hope they fix this issue soon.

I have the same problem, Apple Cinema Display and MacBook Pro 16 2019 (Intel). Only a reboot will fix it.

Description of the situation:

MacBook has closed monitor down. And after booting into sleep mode, the control center and clock are not visible. For example, all I can see right now is this:

It's more like observing the effects of poorly made Status Menu items and inferring that might be the cause of your problem.

I don't have any of that software installed and my Control Panel and Clock return after sleep.

To add,

If your really what to find a possible solution.

Remove some, not all and report back

2 - Safe Mode will also eliminate Third Party Software, extensions and drivers from loading. It will only load the Minimum amount of Core Apple Processes to allow the the computer to function at a reduced Level of Performance 

3 - Does the issue present in this mode ?

EDITED by self

If it is caused solely by Sonoma, why do we not have the problem?

It is certainly possible the poorly made Status Menu items don't work correctly with Sonoma.

The developer that made the item needs to update it.

I was able to get rid of all the problems (for now, fingers crossed) after running this command in Terminal:

defaults delete com.apple.controlcenter

Now all is back to normal, and the Control Center is not acting up anymore.

My problem after Sleeping is Calendar loses all dates and Safari loses display of all Bookmarks in Side Bar. Restarting each software (instead of re-boot) brings it all back. This just started this past week.

It looks like you have too many Status Menu items and they are pushing those out.
