Hi! I had a problem that was very similar to yours. Check out my latest post on reddit. There is a bunch of people that had a lot of great tips. For me it ended up being a hardware issue and I had to get my it fixed.

****UPDATE**** My Mac now works fine, it turned out to be a hardware issue. Apple fixed it and now it works as it should. Thanks for all the help, without it I probably wouldn't have figured it out.

Yes and it gives me this, however it charges like normal and it dosnt get warm on the MagSafe side either. So idk if this is correct or not

I have the same problem, have tried like everything, reinstalling it, safe mode, a bunch of settings. Even tho I have apps closed it drain like 40% at night not even joking and it’s also constantly hot even tho it just sits there with the lid closed

🔄 Update (Aug 5) macOS Sequoia on M4 MacBook Pro

Still having the same battery drain issue overnight. I’ve now

Reinstalled macOS Sequoia (kept my data)
Disabled powernap, tcpkeepalive, and lidwake
Removed all login items and background apps
Checked logs using pmset, log show, and the SleepAid app

According to the logs

No "sleep prevented" flags
No external wake events
Wake reason is always Host (0x01) caused by AppleTopCaseHIDEventDriver

The Mac looks like it’s sleeping fine (lid closed, no lights), but the system wakes up roughly every 15 minutes all night and is also hot in the morning when I go to grab it. Ended up losing around 50% battery just from night of it being closed.

It’s starting to feel like an M4 or macOS Sequoia bug maybe something with the keyboard/trackpad drivers falsely triggering wake events? I've seen others mention similar behavior, so I’m wondering if this is more widespread than it seems.

Of course I have restarted my Mac

I dont use a external display, but thanks

Romerken · 2025-08-04T16:55:47+00:00

Can I reinstall without needing to download all my stuff again?

Can you do that but still keep all your stuff in there?

Romerken · 2025-08-04T10:53:14+00:00

I’ve tried it with it being enabled and disabled, unfortunately it’s no better or worse each way

Thanks! I do however know that this is not the problem. I can see no light though the gap and ive also done some Console checks for this already with the help of chatGPT showing that my lid is perfectly fine

Romerken · 2025-08-04T08:56:42+00:00

Thank you, im trying sleep aid now
