The headphone jack port stops working after longs hours variably 20+ hours on my MacBook Pro M4,

On a brand new Mac you would not expect an issue...

If it is a hardware issue I would return it for one that works as expected out of the box.

The headphone jack is partly a mechanical connection. As such, it may be subject to random issues after the passage of time.

Try removing and re-inserting the plug into the jack a dozen times to clear accumulated corrosion.
