Battery Drain Monterey 12.5 Hi everyone, has anyone noticed a battery drain after updating to the last update Monterey 12.5? I did an update yesterday on my MacBook 14 Pro and since then I've noticed a battery draining which did not exist before. Checked all the applications and battery's performance and didn't find any issues. BTW, a short time after the update my MacBook freezed unexpectedly and then restarted automatically. It could be a problem related to the mentioned update Monterey 12.5?

Hi,

If your MacBook Pro has Intel Processor, resetting SMC could solve the issue.

See the following:

Scroll halfway down the page to the "Reset the SMC on other computers" section and follow the procedure there.

It does have Intel Processor but it's not a T2 or a silicon(?) chip. The model is early 2015. I can't find instructions on how to reset the SMC for that model.
