> I have two M1 macbook airs, both have this issue. It's only present when macOS resumes after running out of battery. Restarting fixes it, but that's a pain and defeats the whole point of the low battery resume feature.

I've optimized for the M1 so it's definitely not a rosetta issue. It's almost like the gpu gets stuck in a low power mode after shutting down due to low battery.
I can attest to this - also with an M1 Air. When macOS resumes from 0% battery, it's stuck in 30Hz mode. Not just the cursor - everything. I've always restarted to fix.
