MacOs catalina drains battery in sleep (MBP)

So I have a Macbook pro 13” Mid 2012 non retina. Last week I updated to catalina. All of my performance and everything looked fine. But when I woke up mu battery almost completely drained itself while being in sleep mode. I never had this issue before in other versions of Mac OS. My battery performance overall is just normal, when using the macbook it doesn’t seem that my battery life is any shorter...

I did reset the SMC. And it did not help.


hope someone can help me out..

Start terminal and enter:


sudo pmset -a standby 1

sudo pmset -b tcpkeepalive 0

sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 25


you can also issue these commands to use suspend to disk after 1 minute of inactivity (adjust the value if you like)


sudo pmset -a standbydelaylow 60

sudo pmset -a standbydelayhigh 60
