This is not a feature available on the M1 Macs, i.e. it can't be disabled.

MacBook Pro m1 2021 auto-boot disable Hi i have M1-Pro MacBook Pro, I have read a lot of posts about auto-boot on m1 MacBook pros and I saw some commands to disable it. i tired sudo nvram auto-boot=%00 and after the restart , it didn’t boot up and said contact apple to restore mac. for a moment I got freaked out because it did not boot up at all, so don’t try this. after a while I tried to long press the power button to see if I can set it back to sudo nvram auto-boot=%03 as per the instructions from previous macs , so when I was in recovery mode I opened up a terminal and tried the above command. Ofcourse sudo dint work and I just tried nvram auto-boot=%03 and then I tried to restart, luckily I could able to boot up and for a moment I got relaxed. And could resume my normal operations. so please don’t try anyof these commands on your new MacBook pros, mine is still in warranty so I could get a repair if needed, if someone do not have, try at your own risk or don’t try at all. auto boot and pressing some key and opening the lid is an annoying feature they have added , I request apple to make a release to disable this feature. It drains the battery when it’s always on. thanks

What's the default value for Autoboot in nvram in M1 Macs? I tried the command to switch the Autoboot value to %00 to disable the computer to turning off when opening the lid. That didn't work, I missed the part that the command doesn't work for M1 Macs (M1Pro to be exact, but I'm sure the same thing applies). I would now like to reset the value to the original one, to avoid any possible conflicts with other processes, just in case. Anyone that hasn't messed up like me, could you give me the value you have for Autoboot? If you run nvram -p from Terminal, it would be among the first ones to be listed. Thanks!
