Macbook 12 battery drain in sleep

Yeah I'm not sure why it's not doing that. Yes it's 2016 MBP. Very weird. I updated to latest OSX beta last night and haven't noticed much difference. Battery dropped 5% in 9 hours of sleep

Currently in use:

hibernatemode 3

acwake 0

lidwake 1

halfdim 1

sleep 10

ttyskeepawake 0

disksleep 10

hibernatefile /var/vm/sleepimage

gpuswitch 2

displaysleep 10

Log from last night

I tried running "sudo pmset -b standby 1" and "sudo pmset -a standby 1" but still not seeing standby when I run pmset -g. I'm pretty sure I did see standby 1 yesterday in pmset -g before I updated to OSX beta. And scrolling in my pmset log I see this from before

Apple is making some changes it seems

I set hibernatemode to 25 and put computer to sleep. It definitely went into hibernate mode because when I opened it back up, it took a little while. Checked logs and don't see anything specific to hibernation so maybe it's just not logged

hibernatemode should be set to 3. Not sure whether you meant you set that to 25 or whether you set standydelay to 25. My pmset -g while on battery power is:

standbydelay 10800

standby 1

halfdim 1

hibernatefile /var/vm/sleepimage

powernap 0

gpuswitch 2

disksleep 10

sleep 5

In the normal course of events, it still sounds like your machine is never going into standby. Did you notice the delay in waking in your previous tests? You could try restoring the defaults in the Energy Saver prefs panel.

I had the battery drain on 10.12.2 as well, so I doubt it's an issue with that. I just formatted and reinstalled 10.12.2. Pmset looks ok now. I fixed the TCPwake issue and going to let it sleep for a while and see what happens. I swear I had this solved and then I decided to format and reinstall 10.12.2 to see about DND while sleep being On by default. Then I restored from Time Machine backup and noticed drain. Maybe a clean install (which is what I had before) is what's necessary to avoid this... Btw do you mind pasting what your pmset log looks like with standby working properly? And to answer your question, no I do not notice much delay when opening my laptop even after long period of sleep. I am wondering if anything was changed with 2016 MBP behavior since I did not mess with any of those settings.

Were these settings on AC or battery? You have power nap on, which would definitely drain battery! Here's a log of my behaviour:

Sleeps when I close lid, wakes up 3 hours later to go into standby, and wakes up when I open the lid with almost no battery drain...

Powernap is only enabled when plugged in, disabled for battery. Oops I think I sent for power. Here is for battery

Thanks for sharing. I have no idea why my computer doesn't go into standby after 3 hours. I never saw mine doing that. But i did format and reinstall, so crossing my fingers. Will post again tomorrow. Appreciate the help!

Seems to be working now! I formatted and reinstalled 10.12.2. I have all my old programs installed, and I deleted those entries for enhanced notifications then rebooted. Left it on overnight and it's still at 100%. Checked my pmset log and I see after 3 hours that its going into standby.

I'm wondering if something got messed up before with restoring from time machine back up. Clean install seems to have fixed it.

Really hoping that when 10.12.3 rolls around, standby doesn't get broken again. It's very strange that it disappeared completely from pmset after I updated to the beta.

Anyway, thanks again for the help!

Hello there! I've been having sleep issues for a long time, and I only managed to find a parcial fix to it (I mainly thought that the wakes should be something wrong about the Wifi) so I found a SleepWatcher script that automatically disables wifi when you go to sleep mode. This has worked in my home ( I have a 2,4Ghz router ) but in the University ( 5Ghz) the Macbook won't stop waking up from sleep to connect to the network if I didn't use the sleepwatcher script.

I've ran the wake reason log today and I found that I still got lots of wake reasons ARPT (Alarm) , Host(1x0) ,Ec.sleeptimer and things like that every minute or so. I would like to try your solution of editing the text file, but I'm afraid this will prevent my Mac from waking up if I need to ( Find My Mac mainly ).

BTW: Macbook Pro Retina 13" Early 2015 here with macOS 10.12.3

Thank you and sorry about my english!

Is "wake for network access" on or off?

With the fix from this thread, I believe find my Mac will not work once the Mac has gone into standby (after 3 hours of sleep). However, even without the fix, it will stop working after 12 hours anyway. The behaviour where it wakes every 2 hours to "phone home" stops after 12 hours.

Is on but this is only when plugged in. Which is the "normal" behaviour for the Mac ? I mean, you are connected to a network, you close the lid and the Macbook is still connected to it or the Wifi goes off ? Today I deleted the sleepwatcher script and since the Mac doesn't have to turn on the WiFi everytime it wakes up the reconnection is very,very fast compared to how was with the script enabled.

I just want to be able to not worry about turning the wifi off and the battery drain...

Normal behaviour is for wifi to stay on when you close the lid. Before applying the modification in this thread, the Mac will then wake up at least every 2 hours, for 12 hours. I've also seen many other wakes during this time, but not always. This ***** battery.

After applying the modification, the Mac will sleep but then go into standby (hibernation) after 3 hours. It will then sleep very peacefully!

yep, my user has the administrator priviliges. i'm opening the file using text edit, but when I try to modify it that appears. Could you explain me what I am doing wrong ? Unfortunately I don't know very much about the terminal and sudo.

Thanks!

I think it's best if you follow the original instructions and edit from Terminal. It's not too difficult. Just start Terminal from Applications/Utilities, and enter the following commands, replacing the board ID with the one you seem to have already found:

$ sudo -s

# cd /System/Library/Extensions/IOPlatformPluginFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/X86Plat formPlugin.kext/Contents/Resources

# cp Mac-E43C1C25D4880AD6.plist Mac-E43C1C25D4880AD6.plist.bak

# nano Mac-E43C1C25D4880AD6.plist

Nano is a text editor that works inside Terminal. You move the cursor around using the arrow keys on the keyboard, not the mouse. Use the delete key to remove the relevant section, then press the Control and X keys together to quit. When prompted, press the Y key to save the file. Hopefully this works. In any case, the "cp" command should have created a copy of the plist in case anything goes wrong.

I notice that an extra space is inserted in the PlatformPlugin line when this is formatted here, so be careful if you use cut and paste...

They're pretty long strings. Double check you've got all the commands entered properly. If you copied and pasted from above, watch out for the extra space that the forum formatting puts in the ioPlatformPlugin line.

Excellent! Firstly, re-enable SIP by booting into recovery mode, starting Terminal, and entering "csrutil enable". Then reboot and close the lid to sleep. Let it sleep overnight. After you wake it, you can use "pmset -g log" from Terminal to find out what it's been doing. It's possible that you will see some random wakes during the first 3 hours, but after exactly 3 hours the Mac should wake itself up, then go into standby mode. After that, you shouldn't see any more wakes until you raise the lid again. Post the log here from the point you close the lid if you like.
