macbook pro did not sleep with lid closed & power off but ran out of battery since Monterey 12.2

Yesterday I upgraded to macOS Monterey 12.2. When I turned off the surge suppressor and closed the lid, it should have gone into sleep mode. It always did before. Instead, it stayed awake, ran out of battery in the night, and either shut down or crashed. A laptop shouldn't keep running when I close the lid. It should not just shut off the display. It should go into sleep mode. I should not have to manually shut it down every time the charger is turned off. The whole point of a laptop is that you can take it places without having to keep it powered. This bug in Monterey greatly reduces the value of the device.

The same thing happened when I manually selected "Sleep" from the Apple menu.


Since the upgrade, something has prevented the system from actually sleeping.


I guess by the book I'm supposed to reinstall MacOS now. That's a major PITA. Do they not test these things on all recent models before releasing an upgrade?

Give this a try: boot into Safe Mode according to How to use safe mode on your Mac and test to see if the problem persists. Reboot normally and test again.


NOTE: Safe Mode boot can take up to 3 - 5 minutes as it's doing the following; 

• Verifies your startup disk and attempts to repair directory issues, if needed

• Loads only required kernel extensions (prevents 3rd party kernel/extensions from loading)

• Prevents Startup Items and Login Items from opening automatically

• Disables user-installed fonts 

• Deletes font caches, kernel cache, and other system cache files

Yes, the same thing happened in safe mode. In the morning I booted to safe mode when charged at 55%. I removed the power. I closed the lid and left it there. By 4 p.m. the Macbook had powered down (or crashed) with 0% battery. Did you mean for me to reboot to safe mode, and then reboot into normal mode, and then try it? I will try that too, but my guess is the same thing will happen. There's no reason the lid sleep action shouldn't work in safe mode as far as I know.

Judging from the first picture in you original posting.


This is an older Qualifying computer for Monterey.


Am getting this information from " Enable Power Nap while on battery power" but that option is Not Enabled in that picture.


How is the condition of the Battery ?


How may Full Battery Cycles ?


Is it getting a full charge when plugged in ?


Is one allowing the battery to go below or almost to zero on a regular basis?

I think it's reasonable to believe it is not my individual hardware, but something to do with the 12.2 bug that affects so many other users, not just me. This problem started all of a sudden, immediately after installing 12.2. If it were the hardware, I would have seen slow performance degradation over time. Coincidental, catastrophic hardware failure at the exact same time as an operating system upgrade that broke power performance for a lot of users seems unlikely, unless the operating system upgrade also did something that ruined the hardware.

Can confirm Apple has release yet another update for Monterey version 12.2.1 which is reported outside of these Forums to fix the Bluetooth Battery Drain issue.


Suggest exploring this avenue and perform a Time Machine Backup Before attempting.


The 12.2.1 is about 1.5 GB in size and like usual - takes time to download, verify the download before actually starting the installation.


Did one one two machines earlier and took from Start to finish about 45 - 50 minutes. Several long pauses during the download and verification process.
