New MBP 13 2019 battery draining

Apple's graphics drivers are very bad, it happens on all Retina Macs. It could be that some people just don't notice or pay attention to it.

Exactly, I show the lag to some of my friends. And they say they dont notice the lag I'm talking about. Maybe they just get used to the Apple lag (I have just transitioned to Apple PC)?

thank you! is it when battery use or power adapter?
I have the same info, except sleep, I have *1* you have *2*
so something always try to connect with apple mothership and drain my battery, your not.

ok, I found the problem.
In my case, when *Find my Mac* is turned on, MacBook does not sleep.
If I turn this function off (without any terminal inputs) Macbook goes sleep well.
so it's not hardware 100%. waiting for Catalina.

it's still a secret, why this function work bad on my computer and it's good on yours and others.

Can you take your MBP to an Apple Store? I use both Windows and Mac computers and typically see far less lag on the Macs. Since you're also seeing some other issues, it's very possible something isn't right with your machine.

How much percentage is it drain per hour while sleep with find my mac turned on?
 
So you got 30%-40% per night drain with find my mac on, so this mean around 4%/hour drain
 
Ive tested on Mojave 15" 2018 and H Sierra 15" 2014 macs with find my mac on, i get around 3% battery drain over 8hours
Without i get around 1%
I see that if you use the find my app from other devices , and check your location for your asleep mac, it will awake it, except the screen
 
Correct, the same % on my MBP 2013 1-3% with everything turning on.
Today at night I'll check my new MBP again

1-3% its very ok with everything on. I thought you said it takes you 30-40% over night with everything on

Yes, but it's about my 2013 MBP.
My new MPB 2019 eat 30-40% when everything is ON
 
Its kind of strange that only the Find my mac eats up so much...i think, if you are not looking for your mac many times from other devices...something else its trigging the mac to wake the internals
 
I check everything.

if I turn off Find my Mac - no drain.
If I turn on Find my Mac - huge drain.
If I turn on Find my Mac and turn off TCPKEEPALIVE function (at battery mode) in terminal - no drain.
(in this case Find my Mac working when MAC not sleep)
 
Yes, like i said , and suspected...it acts like someone is searching for your mac almost
constantly. Because when you are searching with find my app for your macbook pro, it awakes it from sleep, keeping just the display off. Very strange

Hard to believe...from what I've seen at apple devices, only at 100% can stay without any percent lost for 24 hours. When you are at 99 and below, it will drain faster. This happens to iphone and ipads as well

I meant to say that there was no significant battery drain. Just a few percents.

Ok, now I'm starting my night test.
Find my Mac is on. TCP Keep alive is on. Notification is off when lid closed.
Battery is 63/64%.

I'll be back!
