If you're using a USB hub/dock (the author says he isn't), you should upgrade to macOS 11.2.2 because:

> macOS Big Sur 11.2.2 prevents MacBook Pro (2019 or later) and MacBook Air (2020 or later) models from incurring damage when they are connected to certain third-party, non-compliant powered USB-C hubs and docks.

How would I test for damage? I had a Sanho/Hyperdrive dock that repeatedly crashed my 2020 MBP. I switched it out for a CalDigit and haven't had any problems since then, but I don't know how to ensure that nothing was harmed.

I don’t know. You should contact Apple support maybe?
