Battery drain from Power Events on M1 Macbook Pro

Ventura 13 Power Events - Apple Community

I've gave up giving a S about it and moved on. Most days I just shutdown since turning on doesn't take that long plus with the "Reopen window..." feature you can resume what you're doing in no time. Since when is 30 seconds too long anyways?

But yeah when I do

pmset -g sched

I occasionally still do see one or two (sometimes three) Power Events, but as you read the other thread, it's caused because of widgets and such.

So shutdown by night, and during the day I use the MBP, when I have to step away for lunch or gotta head out to pick up the kids, I put it to sleep (with it plugged in all day). Just yesterday the Optimized Battery Charging feature FINALLY working again all of a sudden. It worked for months when I got it, then it stopped working in the end of Monterey through Ventura. Reading from here or there people say they turn off Screen Time, but whatever I don't know if it needs to be on in order for OBC to work, but so happy it's working again.

I was so frustrated before waking up to seeing the MBP lost 9%. For me I unplug during the night because I have it plugged in all day. To me it makes sense this way, but people have told me that's wrong. I really wish there was a toggle that just put the macOS to a complete sleep mode without any wakes. But maybe people are right about not to keep anything plugged to the MBP when it's not in use cause I do have a thumbdrive, SD card, and monitor plugged in always..

Interesting, but not surprised. I didn't do anything special to my mac so it's Apple settings doing it, knew it from the start, but again, just wish there was a toggle that puts the macOS to complete sleep with no wakes for anything. In the Battery settings under Options, I have the hard disk to sleep "Always", and Wake for network "Never", and I would imagine that should mean what I wanted above, but nope.
