Battery Life has become very bad after upgrading to MacOs Ventura

Since I upgraded to Mac OS Ventura, I am not getting the same battery life as I got with the earlier version. Even while sleeping, the battery drains a lot ~15%. I have been using my Macbook Pro 14-inch for about 3 months now and it's maximum capacity has already fallen to 99%.


Are other users also facing the same issue?

Shall I contact apple care and get the battery replaced? (I have applecare)




MacBook Pro 14″, macOS 13.0

Safeboot is a trouble shoot mode only— most importantly it clears system cache files (rebuilt automatically)

No need to log into Safeboot. Reboot as normal and test.



No SMC or NVRAM on the M1/M2 SoC...

The best you can do if you have an issue— equivalent Shut down, close the lid 30 secs+ , reboot as normal. 

try  SafeBoot How to use safe mode on your Mac - Apple Support to sort anomalies.
