Ventura 13 Power Events

Have not give it a try. Maybe someone else would and report.

I guess will not. I read back my message when I had few words with someone from Apple, and if it's correct the Calendar one is for the widgets, and the acmd is for the Screen Time. I have it on thinking in my mind it's what's needed for Optimized Battery Charging to work possibly? So F it then whatever. Again, for me I shutdown at night so by day if it does it while I'm away for lunch or something while it's sleeping, whatever.

I did tons of feedbacks from their feedbacks page about everything. I came from a vintage mac so a jump to the recent macOS I noticed way more bugs. It's kinda disappointing.

Something I'll like to add just because I talk a lot lol.

So for the past four ish days my MBP was shutdown. In the past if I leave it for days it would maybe only drain 1-3%. Been sitting at 80% for weeks so I'll turn on to see 78, 79%. This time I forgot to do the usual and unplug the usb-c for the monitor lamp when shutdown and so turned on to see the battery at 74%. Like serious?

By the way, in my findings looking around the settings, in order for find my mac features to work, the wake for network access has to be on. Which I use so I guess some wake requests does have to be on. Besides that one and only wake request, I'd like my mac to just not be bother by anything and sleep.

May have gotten a clue.

I've now shut bluetooth down. And will give it a retry.                        

Interesting workaround. And that does make things easier on the daily, but I wouldn't say it's totally fixed.

Like during the day when I put the MBP to sleep while I step away for few minutes, I do rely on the wireless keyboard/mouse to wake so if I did your way I would always have to open the lid and type/finger sensor to access which I've been happy with my way of using in clamp shell mode. It would suck for those who truly stationed their MBP's vertically! Or just go back to wired keyboard/mouse.

Hello community,

Me having this issue too!

It's lots annoying to have fast loose of battery from updating to MacOs Ventura on a MacBook Pro 2019 but with a new official battery replaced months ago before the upgrade! (I can loose 3-5% in a minute).

Please, Apple give us some official, correct and reliable fix!

Please, go quickly for a workaround!

I need some fix and it's difficult to use it like this.

I say more than this, it seems it was not tested (almost, for every device that could upgrade it).

It's very annoying and sad to be like this.

Hi guys,

I am on Ventura 13.1, MBP M1 Pro 14. I followed this thread as I am getting crazy too with these "wake events" which are consuming 10% of battery every night. I tried pretty much everything that was suggested.

No success, the two schedules

com.apple.alarm.user-visible-com.apple.CalendarNotification.EKTravelEngine.periodicRefreshTimer

and

com.apple.alarm.user-visible-com.apple.acmd.alarm

always came back.

I found now that in calendar settings the three calendars that I had installed had a refresh option set on respectively Push and every 15 mins. I set the three of them on manually and for the moment the two schedule calls didn't reappear (few hours).

Not sure if this a solution, but I wanted to share with you, as I could share my frustration with you until now.

After 2464 views, and 75 comments, still not enough to get Apple's attention I guess. For whoever that make future reports to Apple feedback, remember to drop the link to this thread for them!

Why we can't just get the macOS to stay asleep besides Find my Mac (for some of us that want it). From all that I can gather, I think you truly have to unplug all usb-c/turn off bluetooth (even wifi?) for the Mac to stay asleep.

They should just give us a toggle area to allow what to wake and period.

This weekend my MBP was off. I forgot my monitor lamp was plugged in when I shutdown so it stayed in. I lost about 8% when I turned on today. Turned off at 79% to find it at 71%. Within 10% that's no big deal, but for this type of battery that is not easily removable I don't want to play around with this battery.

Here an interesting follow up.

In the last two days the battery didn't drain overnight, so I thought that the calendar was the responsible for the problem.

It turns out though that the schedule calls are back and in the log I see several wake events during night.

So, maybe the cause of battery drain is not as straightforward as we thought?

I'm lazy to go through the previous messages, but I think I said some wake requests was from the Calendar widgets so if you remove all Calendars it should not have this Power Event. And the acmd is because of Screen Time being used. I have the Find this Mac feature on so it's a must. So in the end, I use Calendar widgets, and I use Find this Mac so the Power Events will stay. But yeah time to time I run the command to see and it does bother me that from time to time it wakes. Again, from the first few pages of this thread I mentioned SDXC and bluetooth being a problem too. In this logs, every hour there is like five wakes per hour. Imagine that but all night!

How can Apple rollout an updated OS and not do adequate regression testing on all of their platforms (I have an M1 Macbook Air) to ensure that a MAJOR BUG like this doesn't get out to consumers? I'm really losing any confidence in the Leadership Team at Apple at this point and I probably won't buy another laptop from them in the future. Come on Apple, wake up and fix this FUBAR problem that YOU HAVE CREATED and that you are obligated to correct for your paying customers!!!

When the computer was in sleep mode. The display is flickering, and it is scary in the middle of the night. After that, it will be fine to delete the logooptions+. If you have similar problems, you can do this operation

Bump..

Anyone?

Just checked my old 2019 16” Intel i9.

same issues on Ventura and same on 16” 2021 M1 MAX.

(being sarcastic) Nice!
