Hi,
I am having a Battery drain of 40% over night! I use a MacBook Pro 2015 (Mojave 10.14.6) with a new Samsung evo 970 ssd.
I use this setting: sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 0 standby 0 autopoweroff 0
Otherwise the macbook works like new. The battery has 86%, 150 cycles & condition is good. With the apple ssd there was no drain.
Please help.

I did the NVRAM reset. When I restart after sleep I have to push the power button. Other keys don't wake up the Macbook. I get a gray scale screen then its normal. (Pic)
Are these settings below ok?
System-wide power settings:

No, not at all. I'd reset NVRAM to defaults (hibernatemode=3) but if you want to try 25 it won't hurt anything. It will cause a slower sleep / wake time as it writes the contents of memory to mass storage.
The progress bar at the bottom is an indication of loading memory from mass storage; a manifestation of using mode 25. The other behaviors you describe might also be caused by it.
It's a nonstandard setting so you're sort of on your own if you wish to try it. You also have to appreciate the fact Apple doesn't spend much time investigating the effect of nonstandard settings (or aftermarket SSDs for that matter).
The Samsung "EVO" series SSDs do not enjoy a good reputation among Mac users.
I changed the hibernatemode to 25. This seemed to have improved the battery drain/life. Is the 25 harmful for the Macbook?
I just got this error. Could you please check it. https://easyupload.io/isvd6a
