Laptop pro battery draining in sleep mode

There are no [obvious] programs running, power nap setting is turned off, no items at login, the battery display is normal health. I went into activity monitor and couldn't find anything glaring. I am at a loss as to what to do next. Note: in activity monitor, there are things using energy but "seems" normal. Help would be great! TIA.

My Macbook Pro M4 drain its power during sleep mode even it's PLUGGED IN! Hi Everyone, I have noticed an unusual issue with my MacBook: it is draining power while in sleep mode, even when it is plugged in. I start using the laptop at 100% battery, and the indicator shows that it is charging (the light is green). However, when I leave the laptop idle and it automatically turns off the screen and goes into sleep mode, I find that the battery level drops below 90% within just 10 minutes. Could you please advise if there is a problem with my laptop? I would appreciate any suggestions to help resolve this issue. Thank you!

Battery Drain on MacBook Pro while in Sleep I have a 2020 MacBook Pro on Sonoma 14.4.1 that is experiencing significant battery drain every night on Sleep Mode. I charge the MacBook Pro to full during the day before Sleep, but then overnight the battery will drain to 0% and I have to recharge and restart the computer every morning. When I look at the overnight Battery Level in System Preferences, I see that the computer experiences a gradual battery level decline, a sharp battery level incline due to charging although my laptop is not connected to a power adapter overnight, then a gradual battery level decline again. I am unsure why the Battery Level fluctuates so much and why it says the computer is charging when it is not connected to a Power Adapter. Battery Health is Normal. I am not using Power Nap. I cannot find or turn off Screen Time since it is unavailable in the sidebar of System Preferences (Screen Time Not Showing Up - Apple Community) I have the latest MacOS version.

Hi,

Even though your MacBook Air/Pro in sleeping mode, it's still consume the battery for such as keeping the CPU registers and memory, DRAM consume to keep data on the memory cells, data and the like.

If you want to stop battery draining, just shut down the MacBook Air/Pro.
