Apple is fixing the macOS standby autonomy bug. Now we have to wait for the rollout of macOS 12.3 to take advantage of it.
Recently, users discovered a rather annoying bug in the latest version of macOS marked 12.2. This leads to a big loss of autonomy of Apple MacBook computers. The problem occurs when the user puts their computer to sleep. After a night of standby, the battery is completely drained or there is little to no battery life left. Pretty unfortunate in everyday life, you see.
Apple fixes bug that caused macOS to lose autonomy when idle
The problem was due to bluetooth control. Indeed, if the user had one or more Bluetooth devices paired with the computer when they went to sleep, those devices would constantly wake the system, preventing it from taking full advantage of sleep, which would consume the battery much more than the reason. .That being said, it looks like this bug has been fixed in the latest macOS 12.3 beta.
Now we have to wait for the rollout of macOS 12.3 to take advantage of this.
At this time, no one knows when this macOS 12.3 update will be rolled out and made available to the general public, but at least we’re now confident that the bug has been fixed. So this update will be highly appreciated by users affected by the bug in question.
Until then, if you have a MacBook Air or MacBook Pro running macOS 12.2 with Bluetooth devices connected to it, you should develop the habit of shutting down your computer completely to prevent battery drain and you’ve got an unusable device with no power outlet when you woke up. Another option would be to think carefully before putting your machine to sleep, deactivating Bluetooth, or turning off your Bluetooth devices completely. Not necessarily practical when you’re in a hurry to go to bed or do other things. At least there are workarounds. Now, hopefully this version 12.3 is coming soon.
