Macbook Air keeps logging out of all apps when on battery, slow to wake from sleep

Not sure why but lately if I am using my Macbook Air on battery, leave it unattended for a little bit, I get completely logged out from my computer and all my apps close (but re-open after log-in). Here are some more details:


Macbook Air, M2 (2022) on Ventura 13.4.1

Lock Screen Options: 2min screensaver, Turn Display off 10 minutes on battery, Require password after display off or screen saver 1 hour


Close windows when quitting an application IS DISABLED.


I get that my display being off sends me to the lock screen, so 10 minutes seems fine. But my question is more why these other things happen:


1) Extremely slow to wake from sleep. My keyboard is on, but my screen is black for nearly a minute or more - why is this happening and any way to prevent this?


2) Why am I logged out from all my tabs and profiles in Chrome, and need to restore them every time. Is there any way to not have this happen?


3) Why can't I log back in from sleep with my fingerprint rather than password every time? Especially when my setting is 1 hour for requiring a password.

Sounds like it is experiencing a kernel panic on waking from sleep. Normally you would get a message that it was restarted because of a problem.

Look for panic log in /Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports. The name will start with “Kernel” and have a date/timestamp corresponding to when you attempted to wake it.If you find one, copy the text and paste it onto the Additional Text area (document icon) in a reply here.
