I had this same problem on my 2019 MacBook Pro running Monterey 12.2.1.
Turning off the automatic graphics switching under battery in preferences seems to have worked. THANK YOU!!
It would be great if VW can fix the issue so I can use the automatic switching function again, as my battery life on this laptop is not what it was advertised to be so I would like to be able to maximize it as much as possible. But glad the problem seems to be resolved for now.
thanks - James
