If MakeMKV is done with a disc, it ejects when screen locks or unlocks

So, as the subject says, if I am ripping on my mac, if a disc has completed, it will eject when the screen locks or unlocks, which messes with MakeMKV. After this happens, I can't have MakeMKV work with the drive again unless I restart the app.
Anyone know of a fix?

I use a Mac and that does not happen to me.
Is your computer going to sleep?

I have mine set to prevent sleeping, because I typically have mine doing stuff, and don't want it to go to sleep. Also have "put drives to sleep when possible" disabled

Does your drive have its own power supply or is powered via a powered USB hub or is powered solely by the computer's USB ports?
I've seen people on the internet mention a bug with external drives doing weird things on macOS if they're only powered by the Mac's USB ports.
