Just updated my OS to Mojave this morning and brought my laptop to work. It was on full charge when I left home. 2hrs after using it, the battery percentage was down to 40% which never happened before during any of my regular use. Also, the texts on the screen are blurry.
MACBOOK AIR (13-INCH, 2017), macOS Mojave (10.14)
@cboss718 what command did you run to see this output? I would like to se the same for myself.
Overnight, my MBP went from 100% down to 58%. This is clearly not right and the latest update hasn't taken care of the issue for everyone.
Interestingly, my old MBP which was from 2013 which I recently gave to my brother in law had no such issues right from the word go with Mojave.
Thanks. This is mine, anything weird? I don't really fully understand how to read this.

Just to update anyone who's interested, this is totally working for me. Put it in sleep mode at 82% on Friday night. Opened it up on Sunday at about 11:00 AM and it was at 80%. I heard that disabling TCP would slow down the startup from sleep, but I haven't noticed any difference at all.
Same issue here after I upgrade to Mojave last week. Battery drains down to 80% from full charge while on sleep mode. That's not good! Never experienced that prior to upgrade running El Capitan. Noticed/Felt heat issue as well since the upgrade. I don't think there is a settings we can change to fix tweak this. Apple, please do something about this.
Btw, I'm using MBA Mid 2013.
I have a macbook air, I downloaded Mojave yesterday and my battery life is now draining at an incredible pace. What generally would use 5% battery has now consumed 28%!!!!!!!
How and when will this be fixed?
Can I uninstall Mojave and go back to Sierra?
Can I do so without risking losing my documents on my computer??
Probably a silly question (I did do a spotlight search on my MacBook) but how do I activate Hibernation mode & disable transparency? Since doing a clean install to 10.14.1 the battery loss on sleep has improved (around 6% for 12hrs) but my drain whilst using is still so much faster. I’ve disabled Bluetooth & stopped Dropbox from syncing. Chrome & Safari using around the same amount of energy too.
I finally "upgraded" to Mojave a couple days ago since I though enough time has passed since it has come out to weed out the bugs. Went to bed with my mid 2015 MacBook pro around 80-90%. Woke up with it at 40%. It was shut with no applications on... Please figure it out Apple
even me on Mac OS High Sierra 10.13.6, the same issue like Mojave... 100% down to 10% in just 2hrs... Last two weeks I updated to Mojave and encounter this battery draining issue... then I downgraded back to High Sierra and the issue still there...
I noticed this behavior to me happens to me if the laptop is 100%.
I noticed this behavior to me happens to me if the laptop is 100%.
I also noticed that when I hibernate the laptop below 100% like 80% when it reactivates the same after a few hours it has already consumed a good amount of battery, 10 to 20%.
I'm having the same issue on my MBP 2017. Went home last night with my laptop in my carrying case at 100%. Never touched it, as always, Got into work and it wouldn't awake. Hmm, thought it may have crashed somehow. Nope. Needed a hard restart to boot. Apple how do you miss this? Got into work and after finally booting up, it said 11% and didn't understand. About an hour later at 19%.
But here's the big question.... why now? Why am I just experiencing this now after updating to 10.14.1 six days ago?
Same here... it started recently though. Had updated to Mojave 2 weeks back I think and everything was working fine but two days back I noticed that my Mac was drained even though I hadn't used it at all. Fully charged the battery yesterday night and checked for the battery usage the first thing in the morning to realise that 21% was drained while my Mac was sleeping. Battery has been draining quite fast since then as well 15% in 48 minutes as against my old depletion rate of approx. 15% in 65-70 minutes. It can't be 10.14.1 because I installed it yesterday evening while I had already noticed the problem a few hours before that.
Same here. I use a MacBook 2017 and the battery began to deplete incredibly fast. The MacBook is relatively new and now I cannot rely on the battery anymore. Apple is taking too long to solve the issue. It is too expensive to present this kind of problem for so long.
I followed these steps and have been very happy. My MacBook does take a few seconds more to come out of sleep, but battery does not drain.

MB Air -2015 and I've also noticed a drastic drain on the battery, especially when it's supposed to be in sleep mode. I used to be able to let it sleep for days and not worry about the battery draining below 10%. Now, I can't let it go overnight without it draining. Does anyone know if it's possible to revert back to Sierra until Apple fixes Mojave?
I have the battery problem since I upgraded to Mojave. Battery is decreasing a lot faster than using previous version. Even I see more heat on the bottom. I did not see the blur images at all. I did see the battery drain on sleep. But what worries me is the battery drain when using it. Did anyone get a good response from Apple? By good I mean something like "Yes we are working on it and a new fix release is expected by xxxxxx". Going back to High Sierra does not look like a professional answer to me. Thanks
