Macbook Air 2020 M1 / MacOS Monterey

MacOS freezes at random moment. In the any active window, starts a very fast typing 12341234123412341234123412341234...1234

There is nothing you can do except press the power button and restart the computer with system *beep*

For me this is a very old bug that has been haunting me for a couple of years, but I decided to look into it when I lost an important document because of this.

Will try catch it into video, but always forget.

Please help!
 
If you have the base model with 8 GB of RAM it could be the SSD that is showing signs of aging.
MacOS uses the SSD extensively for caching?

But otherwise - for how long does this error occur? These machines are not that old.
