Lost 30% of the battery overnight. That's pretty poor. I suspect I might be going back to Sierra.
sad that when people have an issue, they run back to their previous OS... instead of getting help with that issue.
anyway, on my 2 macbooks, mojave is a step forward; basically, (slightly) faster, and stable. that is what i care about most; that my mac works well, so i can work well.
Wow, you can copy and paste! So clever! Looks like your 3rd grade education is really paying off!
My Macs are used for my business, I will revert to a previous OS if I have any issues. Due to the fact they need to be used for work not play, I don't have time to spend fixing issues for Apple. I have been with Apple since System 7 so I'm no spring chicken.sad that when people have an issue, they run back to their previous OS... instead of getting help with that issue.

I went back to Sierra on my late '13 iMac. The fonts were a little blurry and when you open a PDF it was blurry until it was resized. Sierra is smooth, fast and stable for me. I do have Mojave on my 2012 Mini with a 23" Dell IPS HD monitor, fonts look OK on that but I can no longer wake it up from sleep with the keyboard or mouse. YMMV......Ed
Yes, I tried those workarounds but ultimately decided to go back. Thanks for the info.There is a simple fix for that that I used last night.

The former is exactly because of the latter. I care more about having a Mac that works well, than I do about helping Apple build the OS. They have a beta program, and I didn't opt into it, so I don't really want to be wasting time diagnosing the system now when the beta program is finished.
What's sad is that it's a choice I need to make.
I get it, software has bugs. This doesn't appear that it's something that only happens to my machine, it appears that it's happening to several people.
Do you have a 2015 MBPro? Does it drain overnight if left on sleep and not plugged in?
my 2015 13" macbook pro does not drain overnight. and fixing a problem, in any situation, is always a reasonable option. besides, you're not 'helping apple build the OS', you're dealing with a specific problem that you have.
there's (almost) always a choice; move forward, stand still, or move backward. up to you.
So if I understand, you had yours in sleep mode last night and it didn't lose any battery at all? How is that possible?
sorry, i should clarify: it does not drain much, or... any different than in high sierra (at least, not that i'm seeing)...
Thanks for all the replies and feedback/suggestions. Although I would like to eventually move over to Mojave, as my MBP is currently running incredibly well on Sierra, I think I'll stay as I am for a bit longer yet. Perhaps in a few months time when a few issues have been ironed out and maybe a few more tweaks made I'll upgrade then.
Thanks. Are you able to leave it in sleep for 6 hours? Not asking you to materially deviate from your typical usage, but if you can...
Charge to 100%, close your apps, verify nothing is preventing sleep in Activity Monitor, close the laptop, come back 6 hours later and login and check the battery.
I haven't had any issues that I know of yet. I recently did a clean install to the final version of high Sierra, and just updated from that. 13" early 2015 MacBook Pro as well.
After update from HS to Mojave, overall rMBP feels a little sluggish, even days later, boot time slower, machine a little warmer, battery draining while sleeping. Didn’t happen on betas. Same thing as always- wait until 10.14.3 or later when the beta testing *really* ends.

sorry, long day, and am crashing. so this is a 5-hour report (and again, updated to10.14.1 public beta 1 today)... battery is at 97%, so down 3% in that time). hope this is useful info.
i just plugged it in,so it's just starting to charge, & took this screenshot.

Has the .2 or .3 updates to Mojave helped with the Sleep battery drain or improved your experiences at all?
I asked because my wife's Macbook Pro 13" 2015 (i7/16GB/512 SSD) with Sierra is starting to have some issues reading USB drives she uses on both macOS and Windows (at work). I was thinking about upgrading her system, but do not want to give her a worse experience. Mojave has been solid on everything I have put it on (my mini's, a work MacPro 2012, and a work Macbook Air 2014). I might also try resetting her SMC, but I feel it might be the time to jump to Mojave for nothing less than being fully up-to-date.
All experiences with a MBP 2015 running Mojave is appreciated!
I tried installing Mojave on MBP 2015 13". So far no issues except I could not connect via hdmi (which later I knew that's not the issue). However, I tried to rollback to El Capitan. I have to say, the speed difference is quite significant. So, now I am back using El Cap.
