MacBook Pro 13 2020 constantly crashing
Problem has occurred with both Ventura and Sonoma installed. Usually happens when lid is closed, but recently started doing while I was working on it.

those panic report are for kernel panic, machine check. That is almost certainly a serious Hardware issue.
The reports you posted strongly resemble the ones produced by uncorrectable errors in Xeon processor RAM. The error is detected by multiple processors at once. I suspect you have a bad cache inside the processor itself.
if your Mac can PASS the user diagnostic, you need to contact support, and ask them for a senior specialist who can read those reports. Thy end result of that consultation is to identify the source of the problem, and if appropriate, for them to DIRECT an Apple Authorized Service Provider or apple store to replace the failing part, likely the mainboard.
if it FAILS the User diagnostic, the error code germinated would be fascinating, and may be obvious enough that you can skip Apple support and go straight for service.
¿what is the date of your most recent backup, and by what method? In most cases of mainboard replacement, your drive will not be returned to you.

Troubleshooting a Crashing Mac:
A. RAM Consumption being the Culprit:
As for an app being the culprit, this app may consuming lost of RAM. So, view the Activity Monitor, seeing what is consuming the most of it, and close whatever it may be. More on Activity Monitor: Activity Monitor User Guide - Apple Support. See my reply to this post: News Streaming Sites Consuming Lots of RAM ( >4GB) - User Tip
B. Create New User:
For temporary use, create a new Administrator. See what happens when you log in to it. Do you still get this issue? If not, then is it a misconfiguration in the current user. If so, then you'd likely have to resinstall the macOS.
C. Reinstall the macOS:
Nothing would be lost. It's just that misplaced items would be placed back to where they should be and corrupt system files would be replaced by clean files. Go Here: Reinstall macOS - Apple Support. Important: Prior to installing an update or performing a reinstallation, to prevent data loss, be sure to Back up your Mac with Time Machine.
D. A Bug in the Update:
It might be a bug in the update. Apple might come out with a fix, but they'll only know of this if it is reported.
E. Report this to Apple:
Do your Part: Report this to Apple. Apple may not get back to you directly, but the more feedback Apple receives on this, the more they will know what is going on, and what needs to be fixed in upcoming updates.
I have sent probably 25 crash reports to Apple in the last 4 months. They do not seem to be in any hurry to get back to me. I have also attached 2 of the most recent reports to my original post. Would appreciate insight into those please.
