macOS 12.3 Battery Drain Continues

Out of interest - exactly how may Full Battery Cycles are Reported in System Information ?

While in there - what is being Reported as Battery Capacity ?

If one what a different method of getting that same requested information >>

https://www.coconut-flavour.com/coconutbattery/ free or paid for the get additional features.

It will only read the same information provided by the Sensors in the computer but will offer an idea of the Designed Capacity versus the Actual Capacity

It would appear you have been going around with this issue for some time going back to January this year, That was before the Fix put in place with one of the may update on Monterey

Battery drain while sleeping (MBP 16", 20… - Apple Community

EDITED

FWIW… Updated to 12.4 and disabled BT prior to sleep.

Pleased to report that MBP now awakens with 96% charge.

Q - " I have a 13” 2017 MacBook Pro 2.3 GHz Dual-Core Intel Core i5. "

A - 2022 to 2017 = 5 year old battery.

Batteries are considered Consumable Products.

Over time it will degrade to a point where it needs to be replaced.

The usage is normal as the capacity will go up and down all the time and never stay always at 100%.

Apple Batteries are rated for 1000 Full Battery Cycles and / or 80% Capacity before needing Evaluation or replacement.

Would explore this angle before stating, the issue is macOS Monterey.

By the way, the current version of macOS 12 is version 12.4 as of May 16, 2022

Remember the issue with Bluetooth disrupting deep sleep? Symptomatically, it's that—again, not the age of the system's battery. Or so it would appear.

I don't have anything (that I can detect) running in the background, yet during the overnight, when the Mac is sleeping, battery consumption continues. By morning, the battery is approaching single digits. So, am wondering if this is akin to that original issue wherein BT kept awakening the system from deep sleep.

Refer to another question on similar computer MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2017, Two Thunderbolt 3 ports). " My Full Charge Capacity is 4248 mAh" and " 80% of design capacity would be 3832 mAh. "

Q - User wrote " Full Charge Capacity (mAh) : 3584 " and " State of Charge (%): 70 "

A - Arrive at your own conclusions

A- IMHO - time for a Battery Replacement or at least an Evaluation

There has been sufficient advise / suggestions offered for the User to make an informed and educated choice what the next course of action is required.

The suggestions have been put forth on a volunteer basis, in good faith and in the best interests of the computer.

This is a complete nightmare. My 2018 MacBook Pro is on Monterey 12.3.1. and the battery went from 100 - 51% in 63 minutes with one safari browser open to surf the web. No videos viewed or gaming to account for the extreme battery drainage. My MacBook heats up randomly and as of this evening it no longer recognizes USB devices.

To be blunt on this issue.

Predicated on the numerical evidence presented - Battery being in a Failing or Badly Reduced Capacity - updating to Monterey 12.4 will not fix the underlining issue.

Hardware malfunction or failures ( and Batteries falls into the Hardware Category ) will not be fixed by painting over the the hole in wall. The hole will still be there.

All above is IMHO

Yes, same here. Battery appears to be draining during sleep.

This is crazy vexing. Seemed we'd finally put this issue to rest, and now it returns.

Our 2016MBP is dropping down to zero battery during the overnight. Might this be a recurrence of the BT problem remedied not too long ago?

Worth mentioning, perhaps, is that battery-drain during the day does not seem out of the norm.

Any new insights, fixes, suggestions?

Thank you for your time and suggestions.

I will upgrade to 12.4, see if that makes a difference.
