R5 / Latest LRC / DC camera power battery adaptor / Tether Tools long cable / MacBook Pro fully charged and on charging cable.

Okay - I have had success two shoots in a row. Key: laptop at 100% power and plugged in to charger. Camera: using a DC battery-less adaptor (such as https://www.amazon.ca/Adapter-Gonine-Coupler-Battery-Replacement/dp/B01D68YXOQ/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?crid=1HPHGAAYIHAO5&keywords=e6+adaptor+dc&qid=1676822942&sprefix=e6+edaptor+dc%2Caps%2C148&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUEyTjZWTzdVT0tFV0ZIJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwNzMzNDg5MjZNQ1JKQlhPVzc4UyZlbmNyeXB0ZWRBZElkPUEwNjIwMTcyWUxYR0pGOVEzNzFGJndpZGdldE5hbWU9c3BfYXRmJmFjdGlvbj1jbGlja1JlZGlyZWN0JmRvTm90TG9nQ2xpY2s9dHJ1ZQ==)

This takes the charging aspect of the USB C out of the picture.

Also updated recent Lightroom so it doesn't need the Rosetta(?) emulator.

So far so good.  It's one more cable for the power on camera, but I have yet to have an issue.

This for me also answered why it was intermittent, as it could have been how charged batteries were in laptop or camera.

Still working to confirm, but this is the biggest breakthrough I've had so wanted to update here.
