This task has now been running for a month now, when will it stop.

Just upgraded to MacOS 10.15.2 in hope that it would stop running. 😕

It prevents my iMac to go to sleep automatic.



iMac with Retina 5K display, macOS 10.15

Sure, as stated in my previous post, with 10.15.4 supplemental update the issue did vanish.

So it would means it is back on 10.15.5 ?!


see my state below on 10.15.4


$ uptime
11:28  up 15 days, 13:07, 11 users, load averages: 0.87 0.99 1.11
$ pmset -g stats
Sleep Count:121
Dark Wake Count:104
User Wake Count:53
$


And regularly I can see that my iMac is slower to wake-up as it is in sleep.


In regards of statistic I'm more at 15% of sleep prevented by wbc_drain


$ pmset -g log | grep wbc_drain | wc -l
     635
$ pmset -g log | grep wbc_drain | grep PrevIdle | wc -l
      98


I hope the problem is not back on 10.15.5, I have not yet upgraded.

I think I understand how to build launched…. I tried but the script did not work, however, because I think I made some errors in filling the form. In particular, the tick should be placed under the heading "RUN AT LOAD" or under the heading "LAUNCH ONLY ONCE"? Please let me know ... I am attaching how I filled out the form ... Tell me if I'm wrong ... Thanks ...

It can be true as people are chosing SSD.


however my iMac is recent and was sold with an Fusion drive.


I will contact Apple Care.

I know they won’t do anything but this a way to tell the problem exists.


may be a class action in US would help but I’m quite sure most owners simply don’t notice this issue.

This does not exist, the class action, in my country.
