MacBook Pro 2020 Monterey Darwin Kernel Version 21.6.0

YES! everyday and all day and its only getting worse. everytime I walk away from my MacBook and it goes to sleep, when I return it has shut off. additional issue is that the Touch Bar flashes a bright bright light when I go to restart the computer, not every time but almost. A report is generated and supposedly sent to Apple each time, full of lots of technical gibberish (to me) but I did read "Debugger message: panic." and then further down a sentence about Darwin kernel version 21.6.0 which I googled and found your question.

I've called tech support and they ask me to reset my SMC and NAVRAM as well as reinstall Monterey but nothing worked. My initial update to Monterey was August 10, 2022.

when I first asked for help on this forum (aug 31) I got an immediate answer from a level 10 helper, so I'm surprised you have had no response. it would be nice to know what is going on and what the fix might be.

Have you called apple tech support? I have a case number, I think my next step is to call and have them walk me through how to wipe clean my computer and start from scratch-which I am a bit nervous to do. I see online suggestions for all the steps I've done but additionally to do Apple Diagnostics which tech support has not suggested yet so before I do the wipe clean step I'll ask them about this and also why each problem report is not tied to my computer or at least why they don't ask for it as I've screenshot several of them and could easily email to them...or they could view when we do screen sharing.

But my problems started before I downloaded Monterey, I was using the original mohave and was convinced at that time my problem was bc I was using an old operating system and it was about when we were being warned to beef up our cyber security bc of the threat of bad actors from Russia. it has just gotten worse since Monterey.

caveat: yesterday I rebooted in safe mode for awhile then back to regular mode and it seems to be somewhat better since then but def not perfect.
