In case this helps anyone, I found that removing a Yubikey (i.e. with that contact sensor) seemed to reduce the number of times I opened my bag to find a Macbook Pro unexpectedly warm and with a drained battery.

Can confirm that Yubikey-like devices prevent the M1 MBP from fully sleeping, which eventually depletes the battery. My company's (big tech) IT department reached out to Apple's corp support and eventually got confirmation from Apple that they decided to close the issue w/o fix. Something to do with their USB controller's firmware, if memory serves.
Removing Yubikey before (or after) closing the lid completely prevents total battery drain for me.
Same here. My Yubikey-equiped M1 MBP also refuses to sleep, so I end up shutting it down every day. I suspect it appears as keyboard input periodically waking the machine.
Do you have an M1? I’m really hoping this is a USB-chipset-specific problem that got fixed. That hope is supported by…one random Reddit comment.
