After updating to macOS Sonoma my MacBook Pro 16" 2019 doesn't enter standby mode even at night after more than 10 hours of being closed.
The picture shows a battery statistic for a whole period of time. Before update this statistic had a gap, because it was not collected during standby. One more evidence is that there is a catastrophic battery drain of 5 or 6 percents, i.e. the laptop consumes power while being closed. Before update the battery percentage decreases by the same 5 or 6 percents during a several days (compare with one night after update).
Furthermore, before update I have to press a power button after opening a lid, because the laptop was in standby mode. Now the screen needs a very few time to show lockscreen without pressing the power button. Hence, the laptop doesn't enter standby.
I looked at activity monitor, nothing prevents sleep there.
pmset -g assertions
shows the following:

Google says, that there is nothing abnormal. I've set the following settings in pmset
long time ago, and before update everything was fine:
System-wide power settings:
Currently in use:
lidwake 0
lowpowermode 1
standbydelayhigh 18000
proximitywake 0
standby 1
standbydelaylow 3600
ttyskeepawake 0

highstandbythreshold 35
displaysleep 2
womp 0
networkoversleep 0
sleep 2
halfdim 1
tcpkeepalive 0
acwake 0
disksleep 7
One can see standbydelayhigh
to be equal to 5 hours, hence, the laptop is expected to
enter standby mode after 5 hours of sleeping, but it doesn't:

pmset
shows the same, i.e. nothing prevents sleep. I've tried to reset SMC and PRAM, but it didn't help.
Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and Airdrop were disabled, when I closed the lid.
I can't figure out, what else I can do to resolve the problem.
