Vertical Black Lines appearing on screen when Macbook Pro gets discharged

I bought Macbook Pro M2 and for a couple of months faced issues when it gets completely discharged. I put on charger and suddenly screen black vertical lines appear across the screen. I had to power it on again to see if it goes away. Has anyone faced this issue?


What is the cause and solution ?

I would not let the battery reach a state of "completely discharged"...


The rule of thumb—if you are near the mains leave it plugged in, if you need the portability then run on the battery only—this is how you optimize your battery charging and extend the working life of your battery by reducing the cycle count.




The current stable release of Ventura including bug fixes, security updates is macOS Ventura 13.5.1
