Updated MacBook Pro to macOS Sonoma, now battery drains quickly

I took mine in and they ran diagnostics on it and just said to keep an eye on it. Didn't even recommend the reinstall which apparently some others were told. I did try that and it did nothing for me.

Good job troubleshooting. Thanks for keeping everyone up to date.

Yeah it's not perfect, but miles better than it was before. At least now I'm not paranoid about leaving it unplugged for a few hours.

You're saying that a full disk swipe and reinstallation of Sonoma fixed the battery issue?

Lol, hate to say it but thats you're own fault though.

I'm running 14.1.1 and the battery issue still persists.

I just updated to 14.1.2 (23B92). Hope this fixes the problem.

I'm on 14.1.2 and my battery is a mess once its lower than like 40%, drops to 1% out of nowhere and dies, I plug in power and it jumps back to 40

Update 14.2.1 seems to fix the problem

not here...

They will, however, tell you from a stage that you are holding your phone wrong and there are no issues with their products.

Well, if you have a phone that runs macOS... 😏

Thanks for the reply, Catalin! This is very helpful. I'll go over the same steps as you did and I'll report back. At this point, other than praying, I'm running short of ideas!

went to bed with 40% battery, woke up to it saying it was "dead" but when I plugged in the charger it came right on and said I was at 35%, this update sucks so bad, lol

well I just reformatted and went back to Ventura, battery is back to normal now. can someone let us know if apple eventually fixes this issue without the fix being to buy a new $3000 laptop, lol
