Touch ID not working on sleep mode ?

Hi, I recently updated to macOS 15.1, and since then, my Touch ID has stopped working when my Mac is in sleep mode. If the display is off for about 20 minutes with the lid open, Touch ID no longer responds. Before the update, it worked fine in sleep mode, but now I'm experiencing this issue. My laptop model is the 13-inch M3.

The Touch ID Sensor is the same button as the Power Button


Are you saying the Touch ID / Power Button will not wake the computer from Sleep Mode ?


Or are you saying, the Touch ID / Power Button will wake the computer from Sleep Mode ?


Depending on how the Power Setting have been configured


You maybe required to manually type in the computer password to Active the usage of the Touch ID
