Running hot & fast battery drain MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2015) - macOS Mojave 10.14.4

Hello,


My mac has been running great (cool & with long battery life) ever since I bought it new. Recently, it now always seems to be warmer than usual and runs hot when doing something like syncing from iCloud or running a couple of apps at the same time (no heavy gaming. just regular internet surfing & video streaming). The battery drain has significantly increased as well. This seems to coincide with the recently installed macOS Mojave 10.14.4 update. Would anyone know what's up with this? Do you have the same issue and found a fix? Thanks for your insight!

MacBook Pro 15", macOS 10.14

Try resetting the SMC https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201295

for both battery management and thermal management



If no improvement no harm in re-installing the combo update on top of your existing macOS 10.14.4 to sort anomolies.
