When I shutdown my Mac it was working just fine
Now with the recent Mac IOS Update 13.4 for Ventura
the Battery will not charge,
Optimization said that Performance and Battery Life maybe affected until complete.
What happened in the Update?
My Mac is running out of Power.
Discovered by trial and error that the
problem was the old iHome Connector
to the old 64 Watt power supply.
So it was not a Software Installation problem at all.
So I have reset all the previous settings to the Battery to
Optimize and
Manage battery longevity.
Yes apparently consumables do wear out.
But is strange that the component would malfunction just when doing a Software Update.
Problem fixed I must go to the Apple Store and purchase a new iHome component.
Thank you for your response.

In general, you should ALWAYS connect AC power when it is possible to do so, and only run on batteries (which could be somewhat slower) when no AC sources are at hand. Your Mac will NEVER over-charge.
Your MacBook Pro uses ‘smart charging’ to charge in the optimum way, and only when necessary. Plugged in is Not necessarily actively charging. There is substantial hardware and software cooperating on battery and charging issues. Simply asserting a charging voltage against one of the interface(s) will NOT successfully charge your MacBook Pro.

Not at all. After you make a major change, you begin using your computer differently, and that is EXACTLY when most problems show themselves.
macOs Ventura 13.4 update caused my battery to drain with optimization, What is going on?
