The battery is potentially seven years old.

It's time to get it and your MBP evaluated.


Apple offers a battery replacement service for all MacBookMacBook Air, and MacBook Pro notebooks with built-in batteries.

Pertinent information. 👍🏽


Check what's going on in the background of macOS. launch Activity Monitor and take a look at CPU and Energy intense processes. Does anything look unusual to you?

Do you restart the Mac regularly?

If not, then restart the computer in Safe mode. It can take much longer to safe boot (5 min) so be patient.

How to use safe mode on your Mac - Apple Support 


Safe mode will often correct weird software behavior by forcing the OS to do disk repair, clear caches and other housekeeping and disables acceleration and third-party mods. When you're in safe boot, the machine won’t be at its best performance, especially with graphics, but that's expected.


If you can, use the Mac for some time while started in Safe mode. Does the problem persist?


Exit safe mode by restarting your Mac normally and evaluate the issue again.
