My MacBook shuts down instead of sleeping

Randomly my MacBook Pro 2015 13inch has started shutting down whenever the display is off instead of sleeping like normal, it also turns off when I close the lid, I cannot find any fix to this and its making using my Mac pretty difficult at the minute I have the display set to not turn off but that drains the battery like crazy and I still cant close the lid even on that setting without it turning off

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 12.6

Same here, I don't see the question answered yet , and it makes using this mac very inconvenient ..

I have an M2 Mac, if luminosity is reduced to lowest (screen is off) , or if I am idle for a few minutes, the laptop just shuts down! no sleep mode , I checked battery settings , everything , nothing I could map to this . Started to happen completely randomly! Help please?

Batteries are considered Consumable Products.


Over time it will degrade to a point where it needs to be replaced.


The usage is normal as the capacity will go up and down all the time and never stay always at 100%. Apple Batteries are rated for 1000 Full Battery Cycles and / or 80% Capacity before needing Evaluation or replacement.


How may Full Battery Cycles are on this battery ?


What is being reported in System Information >> Battery as to Capacity ?
