16" MacBook Pro doesn't automatically wake up when opening lid

I am surprised about the complaints about this. It's exactly the behavior I want. I frequently put my macbook 2019 to sleep and then in my backpack only to take it out and it has turned on from the slightest jiggle. Now it is hot and has much less battery. The sensor should be set to only wake when the lid gets to almost full open, not when it just moves a fraction away from the body.
 
If you use parallels you have to switch to apple hypervisor in parallels vm settings

I use Parallels 14 with hypervisor set to 'parallels' but parallels is 'quit' except when I'm using it (rarely), and I still have the wake-up issues.
 
Had this issue too with my 13" MacBook Pro 2020. I don't remember what I did exactly, but it went away after a week or so. I think restarted a couple times, and then just waited. It's quite annoying, but it will go away automatically.

I ended up taking mine back to the repair shop. They replaced the top case again and now it wakes every time on lid open and on key/trackpad press. The guy reckoned it was probably an issue with the lid sensor.

I solved the issue with my 2020 MBP 13" with this support doc.

Reset the SMC of your Mac - Apple Support

The SMC is responsible for managing power on your Mac. Resetting it can resolve certain uncommon issues related to power or thermal management.

Good luck.

This issue had been annoying me for almost a year now thinking it was normal behaviour on my MacBook Pro 13" 2018, but after spending a few hours researching and finding this thread, Todd's solution is the only thing that worked for me. I just did the simple procedure detailed as the first item in that guide and it worked immediately after initial tests.

I will mention I had the top case replaced mid-2019 and I suspect the problem started after that.
 
Even I am having the same issue with my MacBook Air M1 suddenly one day this issue popped up I don't know what to do tried everything possible
