Greetings WinterWAN,

Thank you for providing those additional details. To confirm, when you're powering off the Mac, are you doing so by clicking the Apple logo towards the top-left, followed by Shut Down in the menu?

Hey WinterWAN,

To make sure we're on the same page, with the Mac shut down, you experience battery drain overnight? Also, to confirm the Mac is not on the charger during that time?

If so, is this a one off occurrence, or does this happen nightly or with relative frequency? Let us know and we'll continue from there.

Cheers!
