Every time I shutdown my Mac Studio M1 Max and unplug the power cord, the next time I try to turn it on, the power LED light turns on but turns off halfway and then turns on again. The startup sound also got cut off midway. If the machine is already connected to the electrical power, when turning off and on again this behavior does not happen.

I’ve already run the diagnostic tools (command+D) and it didn't find any hardware issues. I called Apple, They didn’t know what is the problem, they think it is a SMC reset.

I noticed this has been happening after macOS Montrey 12.6.2 update
I am afraid if there's a hardware issue. Is there anything that can be done to help resolve this problem? Thank you in advance.

follow the link to a video demonstrating this behavior:

And here are the link to a normal behavior:
