MagSafe 3 charging cable rotates from "off" to green, to orange and so on every second when the MacBook Pro is switched off.

When I turn off my MBP 16" (2023) in software (no hibernation) and then close the lid after the keyboard is no longer lit, the following happens:


The LED of the MagSafe 3 charging cable rotates every second from OFF to GREEN to ORANGE and so on.

Each time this happens there is this quiet PING as if I have just plugged in the MagSafe.


If I switch off the unit software-wise (no hibernation) and then leave the lid open, the system restarts after 1-2 seconds and I am on the start screen.


In the running system everything is great, there it loads as it should.
