Increasing Battery Drain after 26.4 Tahoe

[JoeSilver]

The battery on my M4 MBP is at 99% capacity with only like 125 cycles or something. It's almost a year old.

Mine is slightly more than a year old and has 87% of battery health, if it can make you feel better. Where do you see the charging cycles, by the way?

EDIT: found it, in System Information. 81 cycles. Probably I should let its battery discharge more often rather than using it almost always on AC power.

My M1 Pro definitely runs through its juice faster than before. Even in constant low power mode.

That is why I upgraded to an M5 Pro.

Honestly, I'm starting to not appreciate the new Apple course. I like Apple Silicon, iPhone, Macs and iPad but they're giving their efforts only to hardware and forget how important the OS optimization is.

totally agree, I really wish apple could pay more attention on Mac OS. or may recreate a new Mac OS with new kernel. I feel that existed kernel is not that efficient
