I am having an issue keeping ssh connections alive on macOS Monterey when using battery. whenever the screen shuts down or I manually lock the screen all connections stop and upon resuming my ssh session is frozen and I have to reconnect again.

I have tried all options in battery settings but to no success, it keeps shutting down any connection have instantly

I am running an m1 pro 16" macbook, if that's useful info

  • In System Preferences > Battery, is the option "Low power mode" enabled in the "Battery" section? If it is, could you disable it and test?

  • How long do you leave it before resuming, seconds, minutes?

    I know that ssh apps on iOS do something similar, Prompt 2 on my old iPad will disconnect, but I think that's more an accepted behaviour for an iOS app. I tried a battery only ssh on my M1 MBP (12.5) and shut the lid for a few minutes. The ssh session survived running top on the remote side, indicating the MBP didn't enter a proper sleep. Nothing showed in pmset on the MBP, though not my area of expertise. Sorry I can't help further, but if you want to avoid some of the hassle of the disconnect you could consider using tmux or similar on the remote so that you have a resumable session.
