Battery: After upgrading to mac OS 13.1 from 13.0, battery came down to 91% from 94% in 18days.

After upgrading to mac OS 13.1 from 13.0, battery came down to 91% from 94% in just 18days. In 18 days macbook have completed 6 cycle count only.

There is no doubt that I have noticed a performance improvement after upgrade, but at the same time its impacting the battery. Anyone can guess the reason for such a drain. If Apple Team is seeing this then please fix this issue by providing the minor updates to all the users ASAP.

Thanks for posting in the Apple Support Communities jaedon_mgs,


The following are the recommended steps to determine the health of your Mac's battery:


To view your battery’s condition, choose Apple menu  > System Settings, then click Battery  in the sidebar. (You may need to scroll down.)

Look at Battery Health on the right. You may see any of the following conditions:

• Normal: The battery is functioning normally.

• Service recommended: The battery is performing normally, but its ability to hold a charge is less than when it was new. You may want to consider replacing the battery.

Check the condition of your Mac notebook’s battery


If it says the battery is functioning normally, you can continue using your Mac with the expectation and confidence that it will be available with a charge when you expect it be.


If it says service recommended, you can continue using your Mac, but may see battery life affected, and should set up service at your earliest convenience.  Find out how to service or repair your Mac.


We hope this helps!

Hi mikeg28806,


Battery health is Normal, but the question is still open. Suddenly this issue is started, its a OS related issue which need to come in attention. Every time same solution won't work i.e. replace the battery. While replying you battery percentage came to 90%. FYI, Its just a year old laptop. My sole purpose is that to convey this issue to Mac OS development team, if its a hardware issue then its a different scenario. Its a part of investigation which development team can investigate.
