Less battery on my MacBook Air

Hi,


I noticed that yesterday I closed my Mac and the battery was at 12%. I normally disable the internet and close all applications. This morning, when I opened it, the battery was at 4%.


FileVault is off and I have recently updated my system to macOS Catalina version 10.15.4.


Does anyone have the same problem?


Thanks!

MacBook Air 13", macOS 10.15

Macs will lose some charge while in sleep mode. That amount is not abnormal.

It's not necessary to do those things.


Log out, sleep, restart, or shut down your Mac - Apple Support


Connect your Mac to a power adapter when it's convenient to do so.
