Battery drain MBP M1

[darkgremio]

Hey, I got magical drain on my MacBook Pro M1. It seems the battery magically drain quick with the lid closed. If I don't use it for a whole weekend I'll open the lid and find it dead. Also, the MBP is warm to the touch on the bottom as well. Is there any kind of way to view this phantom battery drain. Really the only thing I have running third party wise in the background is BTT touch for the Touch Bar.

Create a new user account and see if the drain is happening there.

Does Activity Monitor give any indication of what's been running?

That sounds like a serious drain. Is this with the laptop sleeping or is it powered off?

I am assuming sleeping, I just close the lid. Generally I have always had a susceptible drain even when using the Intel based MBP, not this bad though.

Well I believe I found the culprit, I am pretty sure World of Warcraft is preventing MBP from sleeping. Could be an issue when they migrated it over to ARM support.
