Macbook drain battery in sleep mode

Hi,

I have a MacBook Air 2017, battery has been replaced by greenmind (refurb store).

macOS Monterey has been re-installed a couple of days ago, so I do not have many apps except for 5 apps installed.

My problem is that, my MacBook consume 3-6% battery during my sleep (6-7 hours). If I leave my MacBook for a entire day, it will lose around 10% power.

I've tried to follow most YouTube guides how to disable everything that could consume my battery, but it doesn't help. I even tried to disable BT and WiFi when going to bed. But it is still the same. In some of the videos they explained that I should look into battery usage history, as this might give an insight in why my MacBook consumes so much power during sleep. Screen on time contra usage of power should be pretty similar. Please see picture down below.

Please let me know if you have any suggestions...?

Hi Phillips,

I do see, but as this MacBook has been purchased by refurb store, I will not use a lot of money on having Apple to do it.

But if there is nothing to do about it, then I'll have to live with it.

But I am seeking a solution or understanding what is consuming my battery doing the night, as mentioned above something is consuming power, when my MacBook is in sleep mode.

Thanks in advance.

Sorry but " Buyer be Ware " " Caveat Emptor " from whom one purchasing Apple Products.

The purchaser may have save a few $$ but . . . the quality of the After Market Products is often suspect at best.
