Hi there,

I have a MBP 2017 and since the update to Mojave the MacBook won't enter sleep mode anymore when the lid is closed. The battery loses around 30% of charge over night.

$ pmset -g System-wide power settings:

Currently in use:

lidwake 1

autopoweroff 1

standbydelayhigh 86400

autopoweroffdelay 28800

proximitywake 0

standby 1

standbydelaylow 10800

ttyskeepawake 1

highstandbythreshold 50

gpuswitch 2

hibernatefile /var/vm/sleepimage

hibernatemode 3

displaysleep 1

sleep 1

tcpkeepalive 1

halfdim 1

acwake 0

disksleep 10

I can see activity over night, but i can't quiet figure out

$pmset -g logs

What about System Pref > Energy Saver > Battery the option that says wake, which one do you see?

Wake for network access - Your Mac supports Wake on Demand over both Ethernet and AirPort
Wake for Ethernet network access - Your Mac supports Wake on Demand over Ethernet only
Wake for Wi-Fi network access - Your Mac supports Wake on Demand over AirPort only

(Only care about the 'Battery' section as 'Power Adapter' section only pertains to when device is connected to power)

And is it checked? or unchecked?

Also please see, pretty in-depth:

I found the root cause. The culprit was the Find my mac option being activated in the iCloud configuration. Disabling this features makes my MBP go to sleep again properly. However I wonder how this feature got activated all of a sudden - because I did not enable this feature intentionally.

Hello and welcome to Apple Support Communities, pkissling!

I understand you're unable to get your MacBook Pro to sleep after you completed the update to macOS Mojave. I can understand how this may be concerning, especially when the battery is continuously draining. I'd be happy to provide information to help you out.

Use the following steps to configure your MacBook: Use the Energy Saver settings on your Mac
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Have a great day!

Patrick, you might want to try testing if another user account produces the same results.

How to test an issue in another user account on your Mac
If that other account doesn't have the same issue, there may be some software interfering on your current user account.
You can always reinstall macOS after backing up to try to resolve:

Hope this resolves it for you.

Hi alma1090,

thanks for your response.

I did check the Energy Saver settings, but I don't see find misconfiguration there. I did not touch the settings for a long time, however the issue occurs since the update to Mojave.

Best regards,

Patrick

Hi Joseph,

thanks for the hint.

I created a new user (w/o admin rights) and logged in with the user.

The issue still persists. In the logs I can still see that the mDNSResponder prevents the OS from sleeping:

Is the Mac connected to any peripherals? i.e anything connected whatsoever: mouse, flash drive, keyboard?

mDNSResponder is basically the Core of Bonjour services.. Bonjour is basically how Apple devices find each other on a network. This device could be trying to do multiple Sharing services overnight and we don't know it necessarily. Can you go to System Preferences > Sharing and tell me what you have check marked?

Thanks,
