Cause of shutdown when sleeping

What would cause this unit to shutdown after around 20 minutes when put to sleep? We haven't changed any battery or sleep mode settings and the battery is a good one. We can close the lid and open it after a few minutes and all is well, but when it is left closed for say 20 minutes the unit is turned off. We tested it with our clean installed SSD and the same happens..... We have reset the SMC, PRAM, run diagnostics & there are no errors being reported, ..... I have been told this was an issue with Monterey & up, but I never encountered this before....I noticed that when it is connected to a charger it didn't shut down after the lid is closed for a longer time. System is on 12.7.6.....baffled.

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

Is there any indication if it shuts down, or just powers off?

What if the lid remains open, and you put it in sleep mode manually?

@allanbinderup Only when the lid was closed for around 20. minutes, I tried sleeping it manually and it operated normally.....
