Battery drain while shutdown

I have a 2020 M1 Macbook Pro, Most of the time I used it with the charger, and from time to time I let the mac to run out of battery, maybe about a month or more I realized the battery started to drain faster than it usually does, and a couple of weeks I realize the battery drains even when its shut down when shut down it drains about 30% every 10-12 hours. The battery has a normal condition of 84%. I have tried almost everything, running the apple diagnostic test (no problems found), disabling the background apps, turning off all the improved battery functions, activating the saving energy functions, I turned off Bluetooth and wifi before turning off the mac, I even reinstall the latest macOS operating system (Ventura 13.3) Nothing works! Did anyone had the same problem? Did you solve it?

The battery drains fast when the Mac is unplugged, and as I mention before, the battery health is normal.

Me too, I am losing 3% per hour battery power even in shut down state. Sleep or shut down approx. 3.3% battery power lost. I don't know what is the activity that consumes so much power ? Bluetooth switched off, WIFI disabled nothing works. Battery status shows normal.

I left the computer plugged in for 3 days to see if spotlight indexing finishes and the problem resolves itself. But the issue persists.

Hi wachito28,

Thank you for posting to Apple Support Communities.

To make sure we provide the best options to resolve this, is your Mac plugged in while it's shut down and the battery drains?

If so, make sure you're using the Apple brand charging cable to keep your battery charged. This will provide more information: Charge your MacBook Air or MacBook Pro

If the same issue is present after those steps, reach out to Apple Support directly for further investigation.

Take care.
