My MacBook Pro does not automatically go to sleep . So it often dies because it won't go to sleep when on battery. Oddly enough it does go to sleep when inactive while it's plugged in.
Any ideas?

Ir begs more questions than answers...
old issue, new issue, what changed?
what exact MAC?
What exact macOS?
did you try toggling changes to Sleep settings?
did you toggle Lock Screen settings?

Remove Profiles:
Unpermitting one to turn off a Mac is something that can be created using a Profile --something companies and schools typically make for usage of their devices. So, see if any are installed.

Then you may be using a different macOS than I was at the time of my reply.
Uninstalling a Profile:
It's actually an old issue. It's been happening for years, and now that the battery is old, it's becoming more of a problem. I'm currently using Sonoma 14.1.1. But this happened with older operating system all the way back to Catalina. I do remember a checkbox under the battery or lock screen setting that said, “Put hard disks to sleep when possible.” I always had that checked, but now I don't see that checkbox anymore.
As leroydouglas wrote some more detail would help. For now read If your Mac sleeps or wakes unexpectedly - Apple Support.

Why does my MacBook Pro not go to sleep mode when it's inactive on battery power?
