No more "low battery" warning for Magic Mouse?

[usagora]

Ever since upgrading to Tahoe, I'm no longer receiving low battery warnings for my Magic Mouse. For the second time now it just died without warning. I'm on Tahoe 26.0.1 and it's a USB-C Magic Mouse (model A3204).

Anyone else having issues?

Your Magic Mouse has died twice in the 3 weeks since Tahoe was released?

Yep - it was probably fairly low before I installed Tahoe, and then I've used it another charging cycle since then.

It's simply a fact that I'm not getting any low battery warning. Just curious if anyone else is having this issue.

wow - my mouse/trackpad/keyboard lasts months before it needs a recharge!
You must be using it quite heavy!
I haven't had mine deplete yet since upgrading to Tahoe - but will keep an eye on it and report back......

My Magic Keyboard lasts for months but never my Magic Mouse (and I've had quite a few of them over the years). So, assuming I've not gotten a Magic Mouse with an subpar battery every single time, I'll just assume that my workload for it is heavier than those who say they can go months without recharging it.

This appears for a few seconds every time I turn on my Magic Mouse; it shows the battery level there.

Mine is about to die within the next few days, so I will try to keep an eye out for any notifications. I wonder if it's a similar style notification like this (or when you adjust volume or screen brightness). If it is, I could see that being easy to miss.

Previously, I would always get a pop-up notification at the top right letting me know the mouse needed charging very soon. If they've taken that away by design, that would be stupidity - I hope not!

Btw I never turn my Magic Mouse off. I just assumed it goes into a low power mode when not being used, but maybe that's why I'm not getting months out of charges 😂 But battery life was never a complaint for me anyway. I just want to be notified before it just suddenly stops working in the middle of something.

Yep, it's official. No more low battery warning for Magic Mouse on Tahoe. 2 separate Magic Mice (Lightning model A1657 and USB-C model A3204) on two separate Macs (Mac Mini M4 Pro and Mac Studio M4 Max) running Tahoe 26.0.1 are running completely out of battery with zero warning for me.

I've submitted feedback to Apple.
