Difference between High Power Mode in Power Adapter tab and High Power Mode in battery tab?

[JonathanParker]

I'm on a 16" MacBook Pro

What's the difference between Energy Mode > High/Low/Automatic Power Mode on the 16" MacBook Pro in the "Battery" tab in settings and Energy Mode > High/Low/Automatic Power Mode in "Power Adapter" settings.

I have set them to two different things and I have no idea what the hell is the difference and what each one does and what it means .

One is the setting while on battery… the other is the setting while plugged in…

In general if you’re unsure about these things, just leave on automatic

Oh of course, how could I be so daft! This makes sense... it's even written out for me in Settings

Thank you very much
