Very SLOW upload Speed when Display OFF- Mac Sonoma 14.6.1- Macbook Pro M3 2024

Having a issue with my brand new Macbook Pro M3 Sonoma 14.6, Wifi UPLOADING speed is too slow when the display is off. The unit bought just 2 weeks back. This a known issue lots if message and posts online but no solution from apple. Will be returning the macbook if not solved.


When i upload a data to google drive it show 3hrs etc , as soon as the display, time start increasing to 100+ hours just for 6GB of Data. Tried on my older Macbooks and no such issue , same data uploads in less than 3hrs.


Tried below settings on M3 to solve but still issue persist.


NOTE: Issue arise when Display Goes Off, I tuned this option to Never in settings and Just DIM the brightness to 0( It works but just a workaround for now)


Battery Option: Prevent automatic sleeping  on power adapter ON

Lockscreen: Display off setting- Never

Limit ip address tracking- Off

Reste router etc


I have Macbook Air 2012 and Macbopok Pro 2017 and and its uploading 100 time faster, its 2012 model - 12 year old and uploading faster than M3


Please help

I am a photographer and have to upload and download data almost every second day and its very inconvenient.

It is possible that there are short periods during your transfer when activity stops (temporarily) and this results in the Mac going to sleep. That wold be due to characteristics of your internet connection, but I doubt you can change that yourself.


There are some workarounds, one being COCA, another called CAFFEINATE. You can install these to prevent all Mac sleeping. You can turn them off when you want your Mac to return to default behavior. I agree with Grant, this sounds like a bug or an oversight in the MacOS.
