MacBook Pro 2020 Battery Draining While Plugged In I have a MacBook Pro 2020. Battery Health is 94%. I keep it plugged in all the time unless I take it somewhere. The battery keeps discharging, even while plugged in. It will be down to 80%. I unplug it and plug it back in and then it starts charging back up. I am running Ventura. Do I need to take it for servicing? Does anyone know why the battery would drain when plugged in, and what I can do about it myself. Please don't suggest anything that involves removing the battery; I'm not that tech savvy. I just bought this MacBook Pro from a friend and I'm hoping it's not some major issue. Is this some new battery life "feature?" I had a 2015 MacBook Air before and it never did this, even when the battery was going bad. Thanks!

MacBook Air M2 Ventura 13.4.1 (c) drain battery Hi everyone, In early July 2023 I bought an MB Air M2 with Monterey pre-installed. I upgraded without initializing to macOS Ventura 13.4.1 (c) and using only Safari and Firefox I noticed that compared to Monterey the battery (only 3 charge cycles) wears out faster, it drops visibly! Why? How to fix? Thanks

Are you using the correct charging brick? If you are using a brick with lover Volts, it may not charge while in use because the Mac is already using more Energy than given through the brick, hence it even discharging.
