MacBook Pro 2021 keeps disappearing from AirDrop

This MBP is new from March 2022. It regularly disappears from AirDrop such that I cannot send photos from my iPod or my spouse from her devices. If I restart it, it reappears and is available and AirDrop works, but it disappears after a few days and needs to be restarted again. Turning off Bluetooth and Wifi and turning them back on doesn't help.


Is there any fix to this?

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.15
