Battery drain in sleep mode with lid open

My MacBook Pro battery doesn't drain much when the lid is closed. When the lid is open it drains almost completely overnight. This is with default settings - screen turns off after 2 minutes. How can I get it to act the same as when the lid is closed?

New MacbookPro battery draining while lid is closed I have a new Macbook Pro about a week old. I open the lid in the morning and the battery has lost half it power overnight. Turns out it wakes up regularly through the night, like every 15 minutes. The fans blow full blast for a while, maybe for a minute. Then it goes back to sleep. Is this normal? Any way I can force it to not wake up when the lid is closed? Because at this rate in 24 hours the battery would be drained.

battery drains while MacBook Pro is asleep When I close my MacBook Pro, the battery drains as if I had it open. Is there a setting that I can change? The system settings say that the battery is operating normally.

Battery drain while sleeping (MBP 16", 2019 on Mac OS Monterey) When I no longer wish to use the Mac, I usually click "Sleep" and then close the lid; the next day, early morning, the battery has totally drained. This started happening after I updated to Mac OS Monterey 12.2. Any insights that could be helpful? Thanks! -Fernando

Close the lid so it goes into sleep mode.
