That’s not a repeating schedule as per pmset, so repeat cancel won’t cancel it. Try,

pmset schedule cancelall

From macOS Sonoma 14.2.1 I'm trying to cancel a schedule shutdown which was set up in /System settings/Battery from macOS version previous to Ventura. The only way to get rid of any schedule shutdown in Sonoma is to type the following command "sudo pmset repeat cancel" in the terminal. On my iMac, 24inch, M1, 2021 this command doesn't work and the previous schedules I am trying to cancel are still running. Anyone having experienced this issue and solved it? Thanks in advance for any help!

What is the schedule currently...?

pmset -g sched

Sleep wake schedule via Terminal.app

Seems to work now, no schedules anymore after pmset -g sched

laurentcarletti@imac ~ % sudo pmset schedule cancelall

laurentcarletti@imac ~ %  pmset -g sched

How can I check now if the sleep at 23:00:00 that I want to cancel is still active?

You just accomplished that mission.

Yes, the thing is that the only schedules I set up before moving to Ventura and Sonoma were :shutdown at 23:00:00 and wake at 06:00:00. The problem is that the command "pmset -g sched" doesn't show them and they are still running every day in the background.

Can you clarify if you are hoping to set new wake AND sleep schedule or no?

No, I just want to cancel all schedules

I have never set up any sleep/wake schedule— and this is what I see:

MacBook-Pro ~ % pmset -g sched

Scheduled power events:

That does not mean there is something running in the background

And has it been waking up to this schedule?
