When I had the previous MacOS, there was a thing where I could go into the battery section in system preferences and schedule an automatically shut down and turn on time. Now the Mac air I have with Ventura 13.1 does not include that option in the battery section.
I don't know how to turn the automatic schedule off and stop the Mac to shut down automatically.
Does anyone have a solution to this problem?
Many thanks. :)
Are you sure you are using the correct PW? Try this process:
Using Terminal to set start up and shut down each day
Separately:
Shut down each day at 9:30 pm:
Sudo pmset repeat shutdown MTWRFSU 21:30:00 and hit return
Enter PW if required
Startup every day at 6:00AM:
Sudo pmset repeat wake MTWRFSU 6:00:00 and hit return
To have both startup and shutdown:
Sudo pmset repeat poweron MTWRFSU 6:00:00 shutdown MTWRFSU 21:30:00
To check if these were set:
Pmset -g sched
To cancel all settings:
Sudo pmset repeat cancel and hit return
Monday=M
Tuesday=T
Wednesday=W
Thursday=R
Friday=F
Saturday=S
Sunday=U

I do not know why your User Account is not in the sudoers file, so that is a separate problem that needs to be addressed.
If you have an Intel Mac, resetting NVRAM will reset any scheduled startup / shutdown events: Reset NVRAM on your Mac - Apple Support.
Please be advised those steps do not apply to Macs with Apple Silicon. Find out if you have a Mac with Apple silicon first. If yours is one of them do not attempt to reset NVRAM.
Hi,
Following article could help your question.

Hi, I've done that already, and it shows with this. Why does this not work?
Scheduled automatically shut down.
