My Mac Studio randomly disconnects from my Bluetooth magic mouse, keyboard, and Bluetooth trackpad at least once daily, sometimes several times. I often have to plug them back in with a cable to reconnect. All are Apple accessories. Does anyone else have this problem or suggestions on how to fix it?
Mac Studio (2022)
This drives me absolutely nuts and is especially frustrating when playing a computer game such as Minecraft. I'll find my character is frozen while a zombie or other bad guy pummels "me" to oblivion.
So far my saving grace is Handoff and a nearby Mac that lets glide the mouse cursor over to the Mac Studio's screen and take over.
But I found an even better way. I've got an external third-party USB-connected keypad popular with video game streamers. One of the keys I've programmed to be "Reset Bluetooth". When pressed, it does `sudo pkill bluetoothd` and that solves the problem. My Apple-branded mouse, keyboard, and trackpad all reconnect in seconds.
This tells me it's not an interference issue (as oft suggested), but is instead software.
One question if I may since BT & USB use the same power... how many USB things are plugged in?
ZERO USB devices are plugged in... zero

Same happens to me but only while playing music with bluetooth headphones connected. If I don't play music then the disconnects don't happen anymore.
