macbook shutting down on sleep

I recently purchased a 2021 14-inch Macbook Pro Model running Monterey 12.0.1. When the macbook goes to sleep for about 30 minutes or longer, it shuts down completely, which is not desired behavior. How do I stop this from happening?

MacBook Pro (2020 and later)

Update your macOS to the current stable release macOS 12.1— for known issues.

My system preferences is telling me "Your Mac is up to date -- macOS Monterey 12.0.1"



Monterey 12.1, a major update to macOS. The update is 2.36GB




Try starting the update using the Terminal.app  this will bypass the secure token/owner check from the Software Update pref pane:


sudo softwareupdate -i -a -R


-i Install

-a All appropriate updates

-R Automatically restart (or shut down) if required to complete installation)
