I was searching for the Power Nap button but it seems to have disappeared even tho I can still search for it. I've tried updating to the latest version and restarting my MacBook.
My MacBook is a 14' M2 MacBook Pro.
I've have included a screenshot below.
MacBook Pro (M2 Max, 2023)
While Power Nap is a feature in the OS and can be searched for, M1 Macs and later already use this feature since the processor is more efficient than the Intel counterparts. Given that, there is no setting to shut it off in these newer Macs.
It does show up in the spotlight search, but entering "Power Nap" in Finder > Help gives a better description of the feature and specifies that it may not be available on all Macs.

Assuming we are still talking about a M1 MacBook Pro, the Wake for Network Access should have no affect on you Time Machine backups as this is for incoming network activity, like Messages. Time Machine should continue to back up when sleeping.
Is checking the wake for network access the same as allowing power nap so as not to interfere with a a Time Machine backup?
The powernap button is not showing up
