Wake on Excessive Wake drains battery on sleep

Unable to edit my post..

I found a fix here http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/253776/macbook-pro-13-with-retina-displ ay-consumes-10-battery-overnight-with-the-lid-c

and more details about it here https://discussions.apple.com/thread/7300625?answerId=30869802022#30869802022

You have to turn SIP off, then do ioreg -l | grep IOPlatformFeatureDefaults and look for corresponding file in /System/Library/Extensions/IOPlatformPluginFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/X86Plat formPlugin.kext/Contents/Resources

Right click on file, get info, and change permission for Everyone to read and write. Then change these values with texteditor

<key>TCPKeepAliveDuringSleep</key>

<false/>

<key>NotificationWake</key>

<false/>

<key>DNDWhileDisplaySleeps</key>

<true/>

Finally, reboot.

I'm reporting the bug to Apple. Please do the same so they fix it. Whatever changes you make will probably be overwritten by any updates so they'll need to fix it permanently

I am experiencing this exact same issue. Macbook Pro 15 Retina purchases 30 days ago. I close my lid and at night and then 8 hours later the battery will go from 90% to 2%

And this is posted in my logs every few minutes:

Oct 14 07:10:39 TARDIS kernel[0] <Notice>: Wake reason: ?

Right now I am at a hospital for the next week. I am going to try when I get back home on my wireless at home. It looks like the hospital uses a Cisco Meraki Router of some kind. My guess is that is it might be trying to constantly connect.

I did some test. My Mac sleeps well in my university wireless area. But the moment I go back home, my Mac starts to wake up every minutes. Then I just delete the wifi configration of my router and left my laptop unlinked and wifi-ON for whole night. The battery is still 100% in the morning. So I can say for sure this is all about the wifi connection with particular router. BTW, my router is Dlink N300

And last night I erased my disk and didn't install the OS. With wifi-ON, the battery was 100% in the morning. So, it's OS level bug.

I have problems too with Dlink dir300

Hello All,

I have the EXACT SAME problem: battery drain while on sleep unless wifi is off.

Macbook pro mid 2015 model, El Capitan;

When i was still on Yosemite I had no problem at all. When I updated to El Capitan the sleep issue started. Here is what I did with no positive outcome:

- Wiped the computer and installed El Capitan again

- Reset the SMC (you don't need to worry about what this is)

- turned off wake on wifi in the power saving settings.

- My mac is still on warranty so I took it to the apple store here in Munich, Germany. The apple specialist did some diagnostic by connecting it to their server and the outcome was NO HARDWARE ISSUES at all. The specialist said it must be your router especially that we tried to make my MBPr sleep at the Apple store and it did!!!

I hope that this will make you guys feel better about it especially that you are not alone in this and that we are sure now about this not being related to the hardware. We might now need to wait for a EL Capitan update. I hope it will get this hassle solved.

I have tried to reinstall the OS without logging in my Apple ID, no problem at all.

So it must be an application level issue, not OS level.

My router brand is LevelOne, unknown model.

Really? So you just use ur mac without Apple ID login?

No, that was just a test.

I have logged in now and have to turn off wifi every sleep, to prevent battery drain.

I got Alfred workflow LOL

I have Macbook Pro 15 inch Mid 2015 with El Capitan. I have tried many of solutions mentioned above (except reinstalling the OS) recommended by an Apple Care senior adviser and they all didn't work. However, one of the solutions that he suggested may have solved this issue - deleting 3rd party extensions in /Library/Extensions. You can find those extensions in System Profiler, which could be found in Spotlight. So far, my computer doesn't wake up even when the Wifi is left on and the computer put to sleep. Let's see whether this would work over the next few days.
