Creator Micro V2 repeatedly fails to reconnect over Bluetooth after sleep

I’m using a Creator Micro V2 with Work Louder Input 18.0 and firmware 0.6.1 on a Mac running macOS Golden Gate 27.

Bluetooth has been extremely unreliable. When the Creator Micro goes to sleep, it often fails to reconnect properly after waking. Restoring the connection can take 15–20 minutes of restarting the device, forgetting it in macOS, and pairing it again.

Each successful re-pairing also appears as another Bluetooth device. I now have five or six duplicate Creator Micro entries. Even after turning the device off and choosing “Forget This Device,” the old entries continue to appear under Nearby Devices.

I originally assumed this was caused by the beta software or firmware, but the problem remains after moving to the full Input 18.0 release with firmware 0.6.1.

Expected behavior: The Creator Micro should reliably reconnect to the same Bluetooth pairing after waking from sleep.

Actual behavior: It frequently fails to reconnect, requires extensive troubleshooting and re-pairing, and creates duplicate Bluetooth entries.

At this point, the Bluetooth experience is frustrating enough that the device doesn’t feel dependable for daily use.
