> Could this be a hardware issue with your M1 Air?

I don't think so. I've got the same issue as GP. Well maybe not every 2-3 days but at least once a week I'd say.

If it's hardware-related, on basically a brand new machine, it's a quality-control issue.

It might, but isn't one of the goals of these modern hybrid kernels to capture hardware failures and log it instead of crashing the entire kernel?

Windows manages it (most of the time). Linux and FreeBSD manage it and they're technically still described as monolithic. macOS, on the other hand, throws a hissyfit and everyone then blames the hardware rather than the error handling.

I bet if we were talking about Windows people would take great pleasure in mocking Microsoft so I find it weird that Apple is exempt from the same criticism.

I was starting to wonder too but then I updated to 11.6.1 and the problem disappeared so it would point to this being a software issue?
