MacBook Pro shuts down rather than go to sleep

It's a 16-inch MacBook Pro (2021) running Sequoia 15.3. The problem is recurring for at least six months. It happens both when I close the lid and when I leave it running attached to an external monitor. Any suggestions on sorting this out?

Check System Settings... > Privacy & Security > Advanced. You may have to scroll down.

Is the toggle enabled for "Log out automatically after inactivity"?
