TouchID doesn't always work

Touch ID works fine, but not always. I can understand that after a reboot or a logout / login, a password is required, but sometimes a password is required only an hour after closing the laptop lid and reopening it. Some services don't accept a Touch ID such as installing applications. The installer which used macOS services, still does not accept Touch ID. I am not talking about passwords in 3rd party apps, in that case app developers are responsible. This occurs both on a Macbook Pro 2018 13" (Intel) and Macbook Pro 2021 14" M1. Under which circumstances is Touch ID enabled?
