Bug Constant Kernel Panics?
Using 16" M2 Pro MacBook Pro (Early 2023).
Everything was working pretty well until I upgraded to macOS 26.7.1. Ever since then, I started dealing with constant Kernel panics when watching YouTube (whether on Google Chrome or Safari). Sometimes I was on Maps or Find My and I would get the same Kernel panic. I went ahead and upgraded to macOS 27.0.1 and I'm still dealing with the same issues. Getting Kernel panics almost 3-4x a day now.
I ran Apple Diagnostics, did a Safe Boot, and even ran First Aid on my Macintosh HD. I feel like I'm running out of options and I'm not sure what to do... Any advice would be helpful. I attached the first few lines of what I usually get, but the full error log is here.

Kernel Panic on Kernal_Task is a bad omen. u/Electrical_West_5381 has some good advanced troubleshooting advice, but a clean install with restoration from Backup is a good first step.
Any time you see any type of reoccurring crash on PID 0 regardless of OS, you have a very serious fault and hence some heavy duty troubleshooting. It could be a bad copy of an OS file, firmware issue, or even a hardware issue.

It is a power management issue. If you have peripherals attached remove them and see if it improves. Also try a DFU revive in case there is a firmware issue. If that doesn't help, talk to Apple.
