Worked like a charm on my MBP13 2016
Holy crap, is there an intelligible summary of the video somewhere?

Set DNDWhileDisplaySleeps to true

Hope will help
This has been my solution as well unfortunately. I come from a time where you were supposed to always shut down the computer after your down with it, so it’s not a deal breaker. But it was convenient to use the sleep feature when it worked correctly on MacBooks without sucking the life out of the battery.Yeah I noticed a similar thing. Sierra was great. High Sierra very far from great. Mojave even worse.
I'm just not using sleep mode at the moment. Hopefully Apple find a way to make it work again.
I had the problem weeks ago and it went away..Now it's crept back with a fury. I'm losing 2-3% per hour of sleep.The last few days I've put my MBP to sleep as usual but woken up with a flat battery and the red battery symbol on-screen. This is a 2018 model which has also been a bit temperamental when it comes to waking up from sleep.
I do, but I think just because I had just installed Mohave, I didn’t used to. I’ll kill it.
OP:
I asked this in another thread, and I'll suggest it again.
If...
"It just sucks taking my machine out of my bag after a few days to find it dead..."
Then...
Why don't you just power it off BEFORE you put it into the bag, and reboot when you take it out?
What would you really be losing by doing this?
Love this reply because it is so obvious...and I'm guilty of it, too! I was wondering why my Mac was losing power while closed, and it really does make sense to turn it off, especially when you're not going to use it for awhile (although this is seldom).
But it doesn't solve the underlying problem. I suppose it's analogous to saying you want to take your car on a cross-country trip, but you need to stop every four hours to keep it from overheating. That works, but it doesn't solve the problem.
Apple should solve this.
I think this is what you're asking me to show (let me know). Thanks.I had this issue but someone here helped me solve it using pmset. If you open terminal and while the charger is disconnected (ie. running only on battery) run pmset -g what does it show?

I've been experiencing this problem since upgrading to High Sierra and then Mojave (10.14.3). (Sierra does not have this problem.) I have had a case open with Apple Care for months trying to resolve this. I was just told by Apple support that engineering is now looking at this as a real issue. Whether anything gets resolved is to be seen.
Remember when apple made great software and products?! I miss those days...
Apple used to advertise that macbooks could sleep for 30 days. Remember that? And it worked until 2016 maybe? Not sure on the exact date, but at some point before then, the macbooks reliably consumed very little power while closed and then after that they just chew through battery.
Remember, the used to ADVERTISE 30 DAYS OF SLEEPING. I assume they don't anymore but I haven't checked the website in a while.
EDIT: They do still in the tech specs claim
But it seems like this has been broken or unreliable for several YEARS now!!
- Up to 30 days of standby time
Apple BRING QUALITY BACK! I'm done with Apple products until they do.
