Anyone else noticing the improved, amazing battery life on Big Sur 11.4?

[LFC2020]

The last few builds, haven't been that great for battery life on my M1 Mac, was getting 8 hours usage, so far 11.4 has been awesome, currently have 62% battery life left, for almost 6 hours usage.

Anyone else in the same boat?

It was already good but now even better.

I was getting average battery life on my base model M1 MacBook Pro, roughly 7-8 hours.

first full charge cycle on 11.4, got 11 hours with 9% battery life left.

Hopefully it stays this way.

11.4 is a very good version. It fixes so many issues.

Hopefully it stays like this, realized the hourly usage graph bug is still there, doesn’t accurately measure your usage sometimes.

I just noted that I lost no power at all during the night and that is really great. Have not seen that previously, there was always some loss during the night. I will try and stay on this release as long as possible!

Makes me really nervous about taking 11.5 when it gets released. Will definitely make a TM backup and if it is worse I will erase and reinstall my backup. So glad that is (still) possible on a Mac vs an iPhone..
