Wireless mouse periodically stutter/freeze after a certain time of inactivity (of the mouse)

Update 4: As it turned out, only the old one has the behavior, so it is not a general issue. Maybe we will never know the reason of that. Update 3: (also see the Arch bbs post) It seems that the issue is with the mouse alone (and possibly this particular mouse). Since this issue appears in both Raspberry Pi OS and Windows. I have requested a new one from the retailer and will update the question later. Update 2: I am starting to think this is not a sleep-mode issue (see the bold text below). I have put the mouse idle for 10 minutes, and it went into a mode I have to wake up with a button click
