CPU CATERR means CPU CATastrophic ERRor which usually indicates a hardware issue. Make sure to disconnect any external devices in case one of them is causing a problem. Otherwise, most likely you have a bad Logic Board which is a common issue with the 2018-2020 Intel Macs....especially the 2019 models.


Personally due to the other known issues and the likelihood the battery is worn out or possibly even failing soon, and the age of this Mac, I personally would not recommend putting any money into this laptop and instead put the money towards another laptop. Of course only you can decide whether it is worth repairing the laptop.
