    There is a 35+ page thread on the Apple discussion forums about this very
    thing. No answers to the problem as of yet.

    I experienced a problem immediately when I first fired up my mac mini. The
    mouse disconnects and reconnects twice in quick succession... every 30 minutes or so. Some times more often.

    Hmmm.. I wonder where the Apple mouse is and which one it is?

    I don't use mice.

    I've had no BT issues with the M1 mini, however. Not even the occasional watch-unlock issues I would have with the 2018 it replaced. Magic
    trackpad works perfectly, AirPods Pro stay connected, Airdrop is
    seamless.
    Hmm, perhaps I should buy a trackpad and see how that goes. I like the trackpad better anyway.

    Same problem. Has anyone solved this problem yet?

    Many people have indeed solved this problem.

    More often than not, Bluetooth connectivity issues can be resolved by
    reducing radio interference in the environment. Often, nearby devices
    that share the 2.4 GHz band with Bluetooth devices will interfere with Bluetooth connectivity. Reducing that interference by moving those
    devices further away often alleviates such issues.

    Here's an anecdote: My wife and I have two Macs in our home office. Over
    the course of a couple years, we had frequent issues where our
    Bluetooth keyboards would repeat or drop key presses, and our Bluetooth
    track pads would exhibit jerky cursor movement. When we disabled the 2.4
    GHz band in our home router which was located in the office closet,
    these issues vanished like magic.

    There are lots of devices that use the 2.4 GHz wireless band, including wireless routers, microwave ovens, portable telephones, and so on. When
    you are experiencing Bluetooth connectivity issues, try turning those
    devices off or moving them at least 30 feet away from the malfunctioning Bluetooth devices. If the problems cease, you have your culprit.
