Rapid battery drain on MacBook Air while sleeping Battery drained from around 50% to 0% from 9pm to 12pm the next day. This is too fast. Low power mode was on too. Any suggestions? [Edited by Moderator] Original Title : Rapid battery drain while sleeping

MacBook Air 2020 battery drain in Sleep Mode I have a MacBook Air from 2020 (13" Retina, 1.2 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7). It works fine when connected to power, but even with the lid closed, it loses battery charge in just a few hours. The "battery" setting claims "normal health" for the battery, and I disabled all the "while sleeping" activities without power and set everything to preserve the battery as much as possible. The diagnostic timeline (attached) looks rather crazy - for one, why can't it show the proper times for when things actually happened? (I had the MacBook connected to a charger until about 10 p.m., not 3 a.m.!), but the battery DID lose all charge until 8 in the morning. (It recharged back to 100% in less than 2 hours - not 1 hour - which may indicate that its capacity is severely lowered - then why does the diagnostic claim "normal health"?) Note that after removing the charger, the battery charge stays nearly constant for a while, and then it goes into a rapid, near constant-rate decline. What kind of activity could be happening after midnight, and how do I stop it? Any advice? [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Battery draining overnight Apologies if this problem has already been addressed. I searched the forum and wasn't able to find the discussion. The battery on my MacBook Pro is draining overnight. The battery is 100% when I close the lid and at 0% in the morning. I unplug all external devices and close all programs at night. I checked the battery level for the last 24 hours and 10 days and the graph is blank. I see green on the chart from when I plugged in my MacBook at 11:30 this morning. I'm not sure if that is because the battery completely drained. The battery health shows normal. I would appreciate any suggestions. Thank you, Ruth MacBook Pro (15 inch, 2019) mac OS Monterey 12.5.1

If your MacBook Air has intel processor, resetting SMC could solve the battery related issues.

If it doesn't help, try to disable Power Nap at System Preferences > Save Energy.
