Bluetooth keeps turning off on MacBook Pro 15 running macOS 12.7

My Bluetooth keeps toggling off on its own. When I try to turn it back on, it automatically switches off.

Open System Settings
Click Bluetooth
Bluetooth is toggled off
Manually toggle Bluetooth on
Bluetooth will then automatically switch back to the off position.

Try this: In Big Sur and earlier you can reset the Bluetooth module via Bluetooth debug options by Shift-Option clicking the Bluetooth menu icon.

This is happening to my IPhone 15 pro max after the most recent iOS 18+updates. Wouldn't connect with my car. Every time I toggled Bluetooth on, it would cut itself back off. Never could connect with my car.

With an iPhone you could try if a forced boot or resetting network preferences might fix that.
