rMBP wakes up on battery every 3 minutes with lid closed for "maintenance wake"

When I go to or from work, I carry my rMBP in a small briefcase. Recently, the computer has been very warm when I pull it from the bag, even when it has only been in there for 20 minutes or so.


Looking at the log, it appears the problem is that the computer is coming out of sleep literally every few minutes, and then overheating and shutting down, and re-awakening a few minutes later. These are the logs containing the word "wake" from yesterday. Around 2:50 I woke the computer up, checked my email, unplugged it and put it in my bag. As you can see, starting around 4:00 (I had not taken it out of the bag yet), it started waking up every few minutes, and soon starts overheating.


I have "Enable Power Nap while on battery power" unchecked in my Energy Savers Preferences. I've tried using the "Restore Defaults" button in that preference pane - it hasn't helped.


Note in the logs that the time of the "next maintenance wake" is always the same, and always several hours in the past, for some reason.


I cannot think of any configuration or software change that started this.

I believe it has sth to do with the troblesome "macbook air and macbook pro update 2.0 2.0" My mid 2012 MBA are having the same problem and will drain the battery as much as 40% in an overnight sleep. After 3 clean install I've found that if I leave out the "macbook air and macbook pro update 2.0 2.0", my MBA will be back to normal, no more 3mins maintance wake and a overnight sleep will only result in 5% battery drop.

Agreed. I have the non-retina 2012 MBP which would wake whenever the AC adaptor was connected or disconnected and would sometimes wake for maintenance if "Wake on LAN" was enabled.


I re-installed OS X, applied all updates except the firmware update 2.0, and restored my apps and data from Time Machine. Lo and behold the power issues are gone.

rMBP wakes up on battery every 3 minutes with lid closed for "maintenance wake"
