@law-ko can you please share the logs since boot, if possible can you enable the debug log level and share the crash logs.

@law-ko I accidentally reproduce this issue. I reviewed my sdkconfig and found out that CONFIG_SPIRAM=y and CONFIG_BT_NIMBLE_MEM_ALLOC_MODE_INTERNAL=y was enabled. Then I changed memory allocation mode for BT to external and crash was fixed.

CONFIG_BT_NIMBLE_MEM_ALLOC_MODE_EXTERNAL=y

Can you please give it a try and let us know. Also can you please share your sdkconfig.
