Same here - MBP 16 - 10.15.4

Got this message this morning:
Sleep transition timed out after 180 seconds while notifying clients about upcoming system capability changes. Suspected bundle: com.apple.iokit.IOGraphicsFamily.

No other devices are plugged in, no docking station, no external monitor or other hardware.

I had this crash serveal times but I am pretty sure that in the past it was a different bundle that caused the crash. What I've figured out so far: the crash only happens when I run the MBP without plugged in power supply. When I plug it in again it crashes as soon as the suspend mode kicks in. When I leave it plugged it doesn't matter if the MBP goes into suspend mode.

Did you disable power nap in both modes?

Only for power supply. To be honest think a $2600 piece of hardware should be able to handle this in 2020.

Oh... while answering this here I got a notification of the 10.15.5 update. Maybe that solves all of this.

Of course it should. But no matter how well the hardware is built, software can mess it up. If you would like to test it, you can also disable power nap in battery mode and check if the KP are reoccurring.

I have a brand new MacBook Air Retina 13" 2020 running 10.15.5 getting this error pretty much every time I leave it with the lid closed.

panic(cpu 0 caller 0xffffff800789169c): Wake transition timed out after 180 seconds while calling power state change callbacks. Suspected bundle: com.apple.iokit.IOPCIFamily. Thread 0x3e661.

I do have a docking station and am trying disconnecting USB devices one at a time for a day at a time. So far: disconnecting the USB hub for printers made no difference. Disconnecting the external web cam made no difference. Going to try disconnecting the monitor tonight.

I am reluctant to disable power nap as it is there for a reason!

Morning from AU and have you received the 0.15.5 supplemental update? I don't know whether it fixes the problem or not.

Glad I found this thread. Same problem here with brand new MacbookPro 16".

panic(cpu 0 caller 0xffffff800d09169c): Sleep transition timed out after 180 seconds while calling power state change callbacks. Suspected bundle: com.apple.iokit.IOGraphicsFamily. Thread 0x1ab27.

OS X 10.15.5

Spent some time with Apple support and we initially seemed to isolate it to a system extension, but this even happens with all login items disabled. So back to square one.

Unplugged the external monitor from dock last night and macbook air woke up perfectly. This is now a replicable behaviour for my situation

Did you unplug it before sleep, or after?

Strangely, I didn't have this issue when I was mirroring my monitor, (with the clamshell open) then sleep.

Yes, tested and replicated. If I mirror my external monitor and put the Macbook Pro 16" to sleep, then close the lid, it wakes up without an issue.

If I don't mirror the display and work with the clamshell lid closed and then put the Mac to sleep, it freezes upon login from wake, or (if left for more than a few minutes in sleep) shuts down the Mac.

Received another update yesterday late night, OSX is still 10.15.5 (hotfix?) and during last night I didn't get the crash although power nap for battery and power supply is truned on.

My iMac 2019 has just rebooted today with this kernel panic, even after 10.5.5 and the most recent Supplemental Update.

Are we certain that it's in fact a software issue or are there cases where this problem could be fixed with help of e.g. a mainboard swap?

Thanks,
Alex

When I last spoke with Apple support, this MMP was running 10.15.4. Was told that they know of the problem, and that there is no fix… but look for a fix in the next release. Huh? So, is 10.15.5 Supplemental considered a new release, or a new-release-and-a-half? Or does "new release" mean macOS Ubuntu?

Frustrated and ready to move on to anything else that works.

It is so widespread across different devices (MBP 16, iMacs) - the only common thing is that all of them have an external GPU. A lot of people began facing this problem with updates from 10.5.3 -> .4/.5. It is no hardware issue.

Mine crashing every time when wake up from sleep after update 10.15.5
My work is doomed. Can't let it sleep.

MBP 16" with two external 4k display.

What I've done.
Update 10.15.5 checked
Update Supplemental checked.
Reset SMC checked
Turn off Power Nap checked.
Turn off 'Put hard disks to sleep when possible' checked.

.... Still crash right after wake up "every time" I mean every time.

No problem at all with 10.15.4 But I don't have Time Machine. So...

I'm using only one external display. The only thing working for me is to use mirror mode. If the MBP mirrors the external display I can let it sleep with external display attached without a crash.
As soon as I don't use mirror mode but extend the display and let it sleep -> crash right after wake up (100% reproducable).

For now, I just installed Amphetamine to keep my mac awake. Will clean install and back to 10.15.1 soon. This problem really kill my workflow. When I go outside for just 10 min to relax while working and then back to my desk. Boom! crashed already my work gone. Apple must fix this asap.

Had the same Problem an solved it by not using HDMI adaptor any longer to connect to the external monitor. Instead I use thunderbolt adaptor.

in many cases the users don’t post their config of used accessories, so it is hard to find the source causing this...

I have a brand new off-the-shelf i5/16GB/512GB 13-inch MacBook Pro and get the same sleep kernel panics as discussed here.

No external devices attached, no third party apps installed, occurs whether plugged in or on battery. Updating to 10.15.5 did nothing. Tried turning off power nap and power saving options. Still no joy.
