Sometimes it drains a lot (especially when sleeping) and sometimes it drains normal.
The MBP setting in the same desk all the time.

Also, Nowadays I don't use it much, Sometimes I put it to sleep for about 21 hours and that takes about %11 of battery. Then use it for about 45 min (takes about %15), Put it to sleep for 1.5 hours, Then use it another 45 minutes.

That way the battery barely lasts 2 days then dies.

I have done this before and it was fine, It lasts for 4 days (even more as I recall) that way before.



There is nothing abnormal in Activity Monitor and I am using the same apps I use before this happens.

I tried resetting SMC but no luck.

I have a feeling a Wifi issue is causing this but I am not sure.

Thanks.

Do you use the Chrome browser?
That's an "energy eater"...
No, Only Safari.

BTW, I was just browsing using Safari about 20 minutes and the battery drops from %89 to %82.
I have IINA video paused and Steam opened with windows closed and a finder window.

I do open these Apps all the time before and they don't effect my battery.
