macbook pro won't shut down when power supply plugged in

Any ideas why my MBP M1 Max won't shut down when plugged into the power supply? I can shut down, computer shuts down, but then it boots back up right away. When I unplug the power supply, it stays shut down.

Any devices attached to the computer when shut down and plugged into power?


Is it related to the auto-boot feature, which starts your computer when lid is open or plugged into power. You can disable this feature by going to Utilities > Terminal. Copy the command below and hit return:

sudo nvram auto-boot=false


This can be set back to normal by changing the value to true.
