Ventura energy saver settings on intel Mac mini

The energy settings that used to be available are no longer available for my i7 Mac mini on Ventura. Will these be brought back? I am not having success with command line to put the machine to sleep on a regular daily schedule.

Schedule has been taken out, correct. That said, disable Sleep, it’s unnecessary on later Macs, all pain, no gain. To disable, uncheck everything in Energy Saver settings, additionally, check “Prevent” under displays > advanced:


Separately, avoid manual sleep, use screen lock instead or let the display switch off/auto-lock on timer. For long or overnight absences, shut.
