Mac goes in stop when works in battery

After Bug Sur, when I use my MacBook Pro 15 in battery, if there are applications that require energy, Mac goes in stop with the indication to charge battery (black screen with battery low indication) also if the battery is charged. Tried smc/nvram reset

MacBook Pro, OS X 10.11

I don't know what support did. They disable from start up menu apps that required much energy, that disable spotlight, repair permission via command line (terminal) and re-enable spotlight. It seems that when battery was under 50% and there was something requiring high energy, Mac protect itself going to stop. For the moment it works.

Hallo, no blank screen. In battery it starts. When I log on after a few minutes it goes in stop mode and it display black screen with the indication of low battery and it needs to connect to the power. But the battery is charged!. I notice that happens when battery is below 50-60% and if I see on battery icon, there are some applications that require more energy. One of these is spotlight. Apple support tried to repair permission and now I am trying if that help.
