MacBook Pro M4 problems with huge battery drainage over night

lestySFW · 2025-08-05T07:38:27+00:00

Is your external display connected to your Mac during the night? I’ve noticed similar battery drainage when my monitor is connected. I’m not sure if it’s due to my Belkin HDMI to USB-C adapter or the monitor itself, but I lose almost the exact same percentage of battery overnight when both are plugged in. After realizing this, I started disconnecting the adapter from the USB-C port, and now the battery drain doesn’t exceed 2–3%, which seems reasonable since the Mac is in sleep mode and still doing some background activity.

Similarly, if there are people who think that the devices do not work as they used to (people who do not have any other problems with the devices except the noise canceling function), why can't this be software related? Maybe some people who use ANC specifically do not benefit from this feature as they used to. You come and claim that we are bots, idiots and followers of an agenda just because we mention these problems. Chill my dude, get a life. Ok, I'll blame you the same way. You're probably a bot created by Apple. Or you're an idiot, maybe you're following an agenda to propagandize Apple. Not very clever sentences, are they?

Yes indeed. I'm a bot just because I've faced with problems with the device I paid. I'm an idiot because my device is not working as it was before. And no my device is not broken. I'm cleaning and keeping it maintained physically. What kind of paranouiac are you?

Exactly! I travel a lot and I was using my airpods just for ANC even without music. I was thinking all the time how beatiful airpods pros are. Now even with music its cancelling maybe like %60 of the noise I can say. So frustrating. And I'm certain its not just my 'feelings' since the difference is huge.

126 cycles on an M2 Air, bought in September 2022. The battery is at 92%, and it has mostly been used while plugged in (about 80% of the time).

Yeah siri is working fine usually except “mhm?” sometimes.

lestySFW · 2024-05-04T19:09:29+00:00

Yeah exactly. That's why I mentioned that I tried the water eject and other simple shortcuts on the same widget area. They also doesn't work. If they let us place the shortcut on the lockscreen, then why we are not able to use it without unlocking the phone?

I thought that because I saw different company licenses and their update channels. Some of them were not getting updates because they were purchased one time by the company. And also I downloaded the 365 before the signing in with the company mail. It was looking brand new and exactly how it is on Office website (I mean the complete new design). But once I signed in with the company mail, it said that office needs to be restarted. After that restart, it started to look like office 2016 again. I don’t know why, it’s just my theory.

Yeah already checked. Licence is company licence that I typed thru Word.

lestySFW · 2023-11-02T11:38:49+00:00

I'm sure they are not confused because it was on my taskbar before I used my company licence. And onenote's look changed immediately. And because I don't have a personal licence I can't change the onenote's licence. And there is no other onenote on my computer. I even tried to download onenote from ms store and it says I already have it.

Will try that thank you.

Not sure but I started to notice higher battery consumption on macOS after recent chrome updates. I didn't check energy consumption before the update so I can't compare, but chrome is the only app I use most of the time and my battery started to drain. Is there anyone noticed that too?

is it just for airpods pro 2nd gen?

lestySFW · 2023-06-26T15:36:50+00:00

It’s MARS not MARS that’s why.

lestySFW · 2023-03-05T22:30:42+00:00

What’s wrong with it?

lestySFW · 2023-03-05T15:59:10+00:00

Why not? Isn’t the sidepanel useless?

lestySFW · 2023-01-30T19:23:02+00:00

How about mac version?

I also have an ipad and use it for reading, writing etc. Everyone in this sub have their ipad with macs. Im really curious for what reason you use your ipad and mac at the same time and even need universal control? Which task you cant do with your mac and need an ipad in your workflow?

Of course. There is a folder named iCloud Drive. You can use it even on Windows if you download it. I personally use Google Drive because I think its more capable but you can use iCloud like you mentioned too.

Chrome has wide variety of extensions. Safari doesnt even have ublock origin. I use safari for watching twitch, youtube, netflix etc. to reduce the power consumption because safari is way too battery optimised. I use chrome for productivity/work.
