Is anyone having issues after your Mac goes to sleep and you come back your bluetooth doesn't connect the mouse and keyboard? I am using a Mac Mini with Montery and it is happening constantly. I tried turning off bluetooth with a USB plug-in mouse and turning it back on and the bluetooth mouse and keyboard will connect back for a few seconds and then disconnect again. The only solution I found is to restart the whole Mac and then it will work again until later when it goes to sleep for a while.
 
I have the same problem with my Logitech MX Master 3 mouse connected via BT. It disconnects - now movements at all. Turning the MX Master § off and on again solves the problem for a period of time... This all on an iMac 2019 with Monterey dev beta 1.

It is started with Big Sur, with Mojave no bluetooth issues.

Been running an MX Anywhere 2S mouse and an MX Keys keyboard since before Big Sur's release, no issues with them here. Now Catalina, that came installed on my Mac mini, that was a disconnecting fun fest until I moved around where all my drives were plugged in.

If it is a known bug, Apple have done sod all to fix it.
IOS Monterey has just been installed (IMac Pro with Bluetooth keyboard & trackpad) After about 30 seconds of it powering on, the Bluetooth is switched off and the option comes up about switching the Bluetooth connection on. Difficult to do when you only have b/t stuff.

I dug out a USB mouse to get over that issue BUT when the Bluetooth gets switched of, the USB mouse is also disconnected.

What on earth can I do (will try for a USB keyboard later) but, really Apple, this is not good.
 
No problems with my MX Keys/Anywhere 2S on the 14" Pro, but tons of problems with my Sony XM3 headphones.
