How does battery optimization impact the charging of a MacBook Pro 2019? Why do I need to turn the battery optimization option off and on for the MacBook to charge? The strange part is that sometimes this works, and sometimes it doesn’t.
Battery not charging has been a recurring issue, which led me to buy a new charger, only to discover that even the original charger was still working. I have tried resetting the SMC and the machine is up to date with macOS Sequoia 15.3.1, yet the charging issue persists.
