PS4 controller disconnects after 15 minutes

I just bought No Man’s Sky for my M2 Air and have been playing with a PS4 controller. The controller disconnects from the computer after 15min of play, as if it was a device that wasn’t being used. Is there anyway to fix this?

PS5 keeps disconnecting from my iPad I paired my PS5 controller to my iPad (iPadOS 17.1.2 (21B101)) and have been using it to play Hello Kitty Island Adventure for over a week now. My PS5 controller has gradually started disconnect from my iPad. When it first started to disconnect, I would push the PS button to turn it back on it get maybe 20 mins of play before it disconnected again. Now when I push the PS button, it turns on and then immediately turns off within 5 seconds. I can’t play my game anymore because of it. What can I do to fix this? [Re-Titled by Moderator]

I would start by contacting Sony support to see if this an issue with using their controller with your Mac model.

The fact that it does work, and then stops, could be a compatibility issue.

Also, are you saying that this controller disconnects if you are continuously playing the game throughout this time period?
