Is anyone else seeing their Mac not going to sleep with Ventura installed? 2 nights now I have switched off the charger to my 16" 2019 MBP and closed the lid but by the morning the battery is totally flat.
Got a tip for us?

Ventura not sleeping on 16" 2019 MBP

The first few times I told it to sleep it tried and didn't. It seems to work now, although I have noticed the mouse or keyboard is way more sensitive to waking it up.
Same problem here. Ventura 13.1 beta 2 didn't fix it. There is some Power schedule, I tried to cancel it with "sudo pmset schedule cancelall", OK but in 5 min it is back. Monterey had no any Power scheduling... God knows what to do.
It was occurring with annoying regularity on my Studio Base Max soon after release date running the prior OS and current one too. The Studio would automatically wake up again immediately. The 2nd time I selected sleep, it would often stay that way. Stopped occurring briefly after a few of the OS updates and they reared its ugly head again and again.
My solution: plugin a mechanical keyboard & mouse, disabled Bluetooth and it sleeps reliably now.

I disabled Bluetooth last night and kept everything connected (Magsafe, headphones, HDMI, USB-C to hub), took the power off the power supply and only lost 4% overnight. That is much better of course and there may be some inherent power drain via one of the connected ports. Of course I then couldn't unlock with my Apple Watch and maybe this unlock ability keeps the Mac awake somehow (or makes it more difficult to go to Sleep mode properly). By the way I use Al Dente to keep the charge at a maximum of 80%.

Last night after the latest update to 13.1 (22C65) I keep getting a persistent power draw. It is not much, but Bluetooth off, everything disconnected and lid closed, all apps closed there is still some drop off in in the state of charge. Anyone else observing this? I stopped using the Mac around 0930PM.
What do you get if you perform the Terminal command "pmset -g sched"?
It shows you all scheduled so called "power events" which wake your mac up from sleep.
Could be that after such a power event your mac does not go back to sleep anymore.
Just ran the command, this is what I get.
Code:
➜ ~ pmset -g sched
Scheduled power events:
[0] wake at 12/16/2022 14:31:32 by 'com.apple.alarm.user-visible-com.apple.CalendarNotification.EKTravelEngine.periodicRefreshTimer'
[1] wake at 12/16/2022 19:45:17 by 'com.apple.alarm.user-visible-com.apple.acmd.alarm'
➜ ~I posted the output of the command above. The power draw is very small. I guess the biggest issue is that you cannot force the Mac to go into hibernate or something equivalent. With Windows this was straightforward. There is a lot I dislike about Windows, but being able to force hibernate was a useful feature in my view.
Welcome to the party!
Many (if not all) mac users running MacOS Ventura (so I do) have these two power events enabled.
I do not know if these events are triggering your battery problem. But these events do wake up your mac!
It could be that the machine does not go to sleep any more.
Altough I have a desktop machine, I do not want that it is waking up from sleep at random times I'm not able to control. I initiated a post on macrumors about this. After further investigations, I realized there are other threads about this as well.
Good luck!
Thx for the post and the link! it does seem a very plausible explanation for the observed behavior. The mystery deepens ...
