12% drop in battery overnight..confused

Guess no one really knows what the issue might be?

I logged on last night at 8:30pm...98% battery.

Shut lid, walked away, just turned it back on at 10am, and I'm, down to 88%.

I used to have a Surface Book but one of the main reasons I changed back to Apple was my memory of the amazing battery life when putting the MacAir to sleep...With the SurfaceBook, it would stay on and drain 15-20% overnight.

I am seeing this on my nice new MacBook and wondering what the **** I might be doing to have triggered this.

My MacAir, 2014, has exactly the same configuration as this new MacBook and when I ran identical battery tests, closing the lid (not shutting down completely) MacAir at 8:30pm with 100% battery, and flipping it back open, it was STILL at 100% over the same period of time

Really confused now. Any help? Ideas? Suggestions?

No..It has been turned off.

Well, apparently there's no real answer at all.

Once again, dropped 10% from 8pm last night until 7:30am this am.

Wondering if Messages affects this...I get a lot of text messages and I do connect them with my laptop so wondering when I get them if it wakes the computer up whenever I get them. Under Energy it does say App Nap but I did uncheck that option in Energy Saver so not sure why this would be happening?

Additionally, Chrome seems to be affecting it in some way. I am considering removing it but really do need it for Extension I need for my email via Gmail. I also don't want to just delete it and leave pieces behind that will continue to work in the background.

would REALLY appreciate some feedback and suggestions here..?

Um....yeah...I actually do that from the very beginning of receiving this device.

AGAIN...@ 4:30pm last night I was at 47% battery. Closed all programs, closed the lid, turned back on just now at 9:25am, and it was at 36%.

I am beginning to think this is a Chrome or Google Issue and/or Microsoft Office issue. I turned off auto updated for Microsoft Office products last week...no change. Only thing I can think of is removing Chrome all together and seeing what happens when I do that.

Again, I'm attaching the EtreCheck that was recommended and would appreciate ANY comments from those who understand this as to what, if anything, I am doing or not doing that can affect this 10% drop in battery over a 12 hour period when my MacBook is sleeping. One of the BIG reasons I switched from Surface Book to Mac was the fact I could sleep a Mac and not worry about battery. If this isn't the case, I would seriously consider going back to my SB now that I wiped it.

So I found this link on another forum and perhaps, this is what is causing my issues:

Wake on Excessive Wake drains battery on sleep

Problem is, there really was no solution to the issue. It keeps draining between 8-10% overnight when I close lid and put machine to sleep.

ONE NEW NOTE - There are more than 70 "idle wake ups" listed when I look at activity monitor and it is listed under Kernel_tasks. I am assuming this is normal but perhaps not. CPU Time 17:58 and Idle Wake Ups 433 threads. Not sure if that even matters or not.

Anyone have any experience with this issue at all to this point? I really could use some help here.

Well, one last ditch effort to get anyone to respond here with suggestions..

Same issue for me.

One thing I noticed..when I am at home, it seems to drain 8-12% overnight. Funny thing is, when I am on the road, I don't have that particular issue. I am going to try and test again tonight from hotel to confirm.

If in fact it has something to do with my router (I have regular wifi and 5G that cast signal constantly), has anyone else had similar issues?

Thanks for the information Wayne. Explains a few things.

However, I am trying to determine why I am losing battery overnight from 100% to 88% when the computer is sleeping vs just shutting it off. One of the great features of Mac is ability to open it up and go right to work vs powering it up. I power down completely twice each week.

I just want to better understand the issue.

I noticed that when I am not at my home WIFI this doesn't seem to happen. I have Verizon FIOS High Speed and it is lightening fast with no issues but concerned something is causing my Mac to link to it and then, dropping the connection and reconnecting.

I also have 5G on the router active and thinking it is hopping between the two? Want to prevent that I would think. Could be the type of router Verizon supplies as well.

When I do run the EtreCheck, Office is one of the daemens that is opening.

I do not have Spotify or the others you mentioned but I do have Office...I also have Chrome. These are the ones that I am questioning:

But in the end, I am starting to believe it's the way my MacBook is connecting to my home router. This battery drain is not happening when I am away from my home.

When I do get back, I'm going to turn wifi off before closing lid and see if that makes a difference. I suspect that it will and this will be something I will have to do each time, despite it being a pain in the ***.
