discord.py, on_member_update() not detecting status updates, but detects other events

I'm still learning python/discord.py and am attempting to build a simple bot to detect changes in a users status (online/offline); shown below is an implementation which should detect all member updates.

from discord.ext import commands
import discord

intents = discord.Intents.default()
intents.members = True
bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="$", intents=intents)

target_channel_id = <id here>

@bot.event
async def on_ready():
    print("bot ready")

@bot.event
async def on_member_update(before, after):
    channel = bot.get_channel(target_channel_id)
    await channel.send("Member updated!")
    print("member updated!")

bot.run("<token here>")

I have my intents enabled properly as evidenced by the bot responding to name/role changes, but nothing appears to happen with status changes. Like I said I'm still new to both python and discord.py so I'm not sure if I just don't know something, but in the documentation it says that on_member_update() should be called with status changes, so I'm not sure what the issue is. Thank you for reading!

Enable the below three intents in your code and your code will start working if status update occurs

intents = discord.Intents( guilds=True,members=True,presences=True)
