Resolved Solved my battery loss while sleeping issue

[deepakvrao]

After a lot of surfing, found out how to get these settings. So, for half an hour, I have an instant wake, and hibernate after that. No battery loss while sleeping on battery.

Currently in use:
standbydelay 1800
standby 1
womp 0
halfdim 1
hibernatefile /var/vm/sleepimage
powernap 0
gpuswitch 2
networkoversleep 0
disksleep 0
sleep 10
autopoweroffdelay 28800
hibernatemode 3
autopoweroff 0
ttyskeepawake 1
displaysleep 10
tcpkeepalive 1
acwake 0
lidwake 1

How did you resolve it? TCPAlive 1 as I know it keeps internet running while sleeping....latest update 10.13.4 and security update has drained battery even while sleeping. Before that 10.3.3 was good on my MBP 2017 non touch.

I think I first used this command

sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 3

and then this

sudo pmset -a standbydelay 1800

and then this

sudo pmset -c standbydelay 36000

The last one makes sure that when connected to the charger it does not hibernate for 10 hours.

I'm not really very sure about all this, but I *think* this is what I did. Current settings are

AC Power:

System Sleep Timer (Minutes): 10

Disk Sleep Timer (Minutes): 0

Display Sleep Timer (Minutes): 10

In case anyone is still experiencing this issue...

I bought a second hand rMB 2015 (Gold) and had a 1 to 2% drain every hour. Here's what I tried:

1. SMC Reset
2. Upgraded to Mojave Public Beta
3. Used Internet Recovery to clean install High Sierra

I did all the above with no results. I did some more research and found that someone did a SMC Reset then a PRAM Reset right after. I did this then fully charged the laptop. Look at part of my sleep log to see the results:

This is a sample of the log when I had it connected to AC Power:
2018-07-07 07:30:36 -0500 Sleep Entering Sleep state due to 'Idle Sleep':TCPKeepAlive=active Using AC (Charge:100%) 1188 secs

2018-07-07 08:26:02 -0500 Wake Wake from Deep Idle [CDNVA] due to SPIT/UserActivity Assertion: Using AC (Charge:100%) 746 secs

This is a sample of the log after I removed the AC Adapter:
2018-07-07 08:38:28 -0500 Sleep Entering Sleep state due to 'Clamshell Sleep':TCPKeepAlive=inactive Using Batt (Charge:100%) 10805 secs
2018-07-07 11:38:33 -0500 Sleep Entering Sleep state due to 'Maintenance Sleep':TCPKeepAlive=inactive Using Batt (Charge:100%) 32505 secs
2018-07-07 20:40:20 -0500 Sleep Entering Sleep state due to 'Maintenance Sleep':TCPKeepAlive=inactive Using Batt (Charge:100%) 39075 secs
2018-07-08 07:31:35 -0500 Wake Wake from Standby [CDNVA] due to EC.LidOpen/Lid Open: Using BATT (Charge:100%) 918 secs

If you'll notice, when I unplugged it and let it sit all day/night yesterday on battery, it only woke up 3 times to check in network wise the rest of the day. I woke it up this morning to a full 100% charge. Seems like something in the PRAM needed to be reset.

Edit: Looking at my older logs, it constantly checked in on battery like it was plugged into AC. Once the PRAM/SMC reset, it seems to have adjusted accordingly.

YMMV but its something to try.
