I was asking about the public release, not the nightlies. I'm already aware the nightlies exist. No one has mentioned about it being released before, or after T26 is ready though, and that's what my question was directed to.
Got a tip for us?

Battery is few months old (I think it's not genuine btw). I had the same issue with the original old battery. It's weird that battery health shows 93% with 29 battery cycles. Yuck.
I'm kinda scared to make this move and mess up my system. Maybe I should try with an external HDD?
The problem appears when turning the system on after sleep / hibernation. If I unplug the AC while awake, I've got no issues at all. I've disabled hibernation state as a test right now.
Major numbers are targeted for newer OS versions once the move to semantic versioning happened, so yes 3.0 will primarily be for Tahoe whenever it's ready. If there are fixes needed for older macOS versions, they will come as dot updates. After 3.0 has released, all minor fixes for all OS versions will fall under 3.x.x but until then they will be 2.x.x.
OCLP 1.0 was the first for Sonoma, 2.0 was the first for Sequoia.

Mine reports made by simplo got it off Amazon , not saying it is the battery but id be tempted to swap it again, I had auto shut off after boot but if I plugged it in switched it on and then unplugged was fine, random shut offs at about 46% but the battery was 11 years old so couldn’t complain . Changed the battery and the issues were gone I also have big sur on mine no issues with them both on disk I would think newer os would have a bigger pull on the battery anyway compared to Big Sur with tasks etc I’ve been naughty and not glued the new battery in just wedged it was supposed to be while I tested it but it’s been nearly a year lol.
I’d like to see the hibernate mode:
pmset -g | grep hibernatemode
You can set it to:
sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 3. So it doesn’t go to hibernation (25), only safe sleep.
To have normal power after sleep:
sudo pmset -b reducespeed
To disable auto power off and standby:
sudo pmset -a standby 0
sudo pmset -a autopoweroff 0
As well you want to check which GPU is being used after waking up. If I’m not mistaken, your MacBook has two GPUs?
Thank you, that is what I thought. I was mainly curious because it sounds like this time around it's unclear if Tahoe will actually work or not. With that said, I was curious if updates were just going to continue regardless. So it sounds like, if Tahoe doesn't come out the patcher will stay at the 2x line.
This started for me yesterday. None of my three Macs can use either Messages or FaceTime. They both close and return to the login screen, as you say. Coincidentally (?), I had put Tahoe RC on my M1 the day before. It had been running Tahoe betas all summer. OCLP is not an issue in my case. The other two Macs are Intel, on 15.6.1.
Even though Sequoia is stable for me now, should I still keep a dual boot of Monterey around? What are the thoughts on that? I would prefer not to dual boot multiple macOS versions if I can help it.
Although I use Sequoia as the main macOS in my MBP11,2, I keep an installation of Big Sur (last macOS supported in my case) just in case something goes wrong with Sequoia. I did use it sometimes.
If your iMac is your main computer, it is wise to keep a Volume with Monterey around just in case you need it for an emergency...
Thanks, I'll probably set one up. This has really been a tough choice, because with all things considered, I could still use Monterey without issues and not even need OCLP. The main thing sequoia does for me, or any newer version, is fix a few minor cosmetic issues with Facebook Messenger, that's literally it. I don't even need to use the messenger app, the web app works fine, and i have the iOS app. As long as my two browsers, Firefox, and Chrome get updates, I'm good. The apple app updates focus on Apple M series Mac primarily now, when it comes to the Pro apps, the iWork suite, I have installed, but I have LibreOffice installed too which is closer to MS software, I don't use any Adobe software, and Xcode is Just around for the UNIX command line tools, and I have an install of Linux on an external drive.
As I've explained before, I use many open source alternatives today, even though I have native apps too, and the one, or two Apple services that don't require the latest version of macOS to work. There are quite a few of my apps that go back to Mojave, that still work, and the last time I used it, Firefox ESR was still currently supported, so I still have a few options along with OCLP where I can still run a supported OS for this machine, and still be OK.
I updated my OCLP 2.4.1 to 3.0.0 nightly and updated both my MacBooks running Sequoia 15.7 with the new OCLP. Not sure if I should have done this as 3.0.0 nightly is more for Tahoe, OS 26. I haven't had experienced any issues with this update so far.

I did it long ago, it's fine and now you will be ready for T26, when the Dev's release a final version. It does not patch on T26, although it does download KDK's and many things do not work, I just experiment on a test volume, I can delete if necessary.

Yes, that's what I meant - install Big Sur (or Monterey, if compatible) on an external drive and test the battery question from there.
I plan to keep a copy of Monterey around for my 2015 MacBook. It's a good idea to have a fully-supported version, just in case.
This is something I would like to do for my MacBook but will wait until the Dev's have it sorted. For now I can easily run T26 on my 2023 14 inch MBP without any issue.
Interesting. How is one who installs 3.0.0 [nightly] any more ready for T26 & 3.0.0 [release] than someone with 2.4.1 [release]?
Hi all 
Is anyone having a problem with the Message app? Every time I launch it, it asks me to log in to my account. Sometimes it works, but it immediately quits and won't log in again, and sometimes I get the message "An unknown error has occurred." I have the correct username and password. This didn't happen before OCLP 2.4.1. Any ideas?

This started for me a couple of days ago, on all of my Macs. OCLP not relevant in my case.Hi all

As discussed elsewhere here, many appear to be seeing this regardless of OCLP or supported Macs.
We are seeing it too. Might be an Apple iCloud backbone issue.
Thanks for your reply, I thought I was alone! And I also found it strange that the problem was also on all my Macs, even those that don't need OCLP! But I did well to ask. Weird...
Ever since I upgraded to Sequoia, every other week, I get apple asking me to update my account.
Ask for a two form factor, I bypass it and confirms I don't want it, and says okay.
Seems like every month it will ask to update account.
Man it really wants me to fess up my phone number?

I'm not having any iMessage / iCloud issues, but this did just pop-up on my rig running Tahoe RC1:
Haven't yet seen this in Sequoia.

I have installed Monterey on a second APFS Volume, so now my iMac has a fully supported OS to switch to in the event of issues.
