MBP 14 Battery Drain While sleep

[dummydecoy]

I also faced this issue of Excessive battery drain while sleeping on MBP 2015,


This is what I did and resolved


Open Terminal
Type sudo pmset -b tcpkeepalive 0

Tried your tip last week but it didn't work for me. Every 1.5hrs as shown below, AOP.OutboxNotEmpty spu_queue_overflow still wakes the laptop. Will a reinstall of Sonoma fix this? If anyone has any other tips that you think will help, please let me know.

I am also experiencing slight battery drain while my Macbook M1 pro is on sleep mode. 5% battery drain after 9 hours on sleep mode.
I have made some changes on terminal mode as suggested on the above mentioned link. lets hope it resolves, i will post new update soon.

New Update:

So far i have not faced any battery drain issues while my laptop is in sleep mode. I will highly recommend this method

Adding my weight to this thread, as I've been trying to fix this pesky problem for months with no avail.

My MBP M1 Pro would not stay asleep with wakes every 1.5h during 45s for similar reason.

I've installed several scripts to disable Wifi & Bluetooth when lid is closed, disabled everything with pmset, removed all scheduled events, but this issue remains. Super anoying.

I also still have this issue. I even factory reset the Mac and it still happens on a clean, fresh install.

Try sudo pmset -a powernap 1. Some say it fixes the AOP.OutboxNotEmpty spu_queue_overflow_ep42 and SMC.OutboxNotEmpt issues.

Just tried this, then left the Macbook to sleep for 7 hours. SleepAid reports this: https://cln.sh/LznVL0Dj

For me it's also not working well:
it eliminates AOP.OutboxNotEmpty spu_queue_overflow_ep42
but adds huge amount of NUB.SPMISw3IRQ nub-spmi0.0x02 rtc/Maintenance and NUB.SPMISw3IRQ nub-spmi0.0x02 rtc/SleepService wakes with long awake duration
And it looks much worse, than with powernap 0, when I have wakes 1.5h.

Also having sort of a similar issue on Sequoia, Macbook not sleeping, powerd is preventing sleep

Long story short- it's all about the RAM.

My suggestion:

- sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 25 - this will save current state to SSD instead of RAM
- sudo pmset -a standbydelaylow 3600 - time (in seconds) after which the machine will drop all current work to SSD and hibernate.
- sudo pmset -a standbydelayhigh 7200 - as above.

why low and high? low is used when battery is below 50% and high above 50%.
we can change the treshold of those two states with:
- sudo pmset -a highstandbythreshold 25 - so the low delay will kick in under 25% of battery (default is 50%)

You'll ask what are the cons.. the only one I've noticed on my Intel MBP is a bit longer time to wake up, but on Apple Silicon it should be barely noticeable IMO. Some might say that it'll wear the SSD faster - nope, it will not.
I've tested this solution on a Sequoia MBP late 2013 and Sonoma MBA 2018 - on MBP it takes a bit longer to wake, but on MBA it's barely noticeable.

Hope I've helped a little bit

p.s. - 3600 - 1hour
7200 - 2 hours

Unfortunately the standbydelaylow/high parameters are all gone in new apple silicon MACs (sequoia on M4). They seems to be ignored by the system for whatever you set through the pmset command. From the pmset log these parameters are treated as 0 no matter what values been set in command line.
The autopoweroff and related parameters are also not functioning even if they are still listed in manual page.

the only workable thing is hibernate mode 25, however it has obvious delay when open lid.
This really surprised me that Apple can not make the basic power sleeping problem right on their new system.

Just read through the whole thread. Did anyone ever find a fix for eliminating the "AOP" wakes?

We need to ping Apple about this issue. It looks that it happens with M1 and not with M2/M3/M4.

How did you come to this conclusion? Are there any other threads you can point me to exploring this issue?
