What should I do if macOS consumes a lot of power when in standby? An overview of effective solutions

There are always people complaining after updating Mac to system 10.14 or above,Serious power consumption problem in standby mode。Recently I also encountered this problem:After it is fully charged, close the lid.,The battery dropped by 70% or 80% the next day.,sometimes even more。So,How can we solve this problem? The editor will share two practical Mac setup tips,Help everyone alleviate standby power consumption。

1. Adjust energy saving settings

in system preferences,Find the "Energy Saver" option:

Turn off monitor time settings:In the battery and power adapter options respectively,Shorten the period of time when the display is turned off。This reduces the display brightness time,Thereby reducing the battery consumption rate。

Disable automatic sleep:Uncheck "When display turns off",Prevent the computer from automatically going to sleep" option。This prevents the computer from going to sleep prematurely when not needed,thereby reducing energy consumption。

2. Set do not disturb mode

in system preferences,Find the "Notifications" option:

Enable Do Not Disturb mode:In Do Not Disturb settings,Check "Enable Do Not Disturb when display goes to sleep"。This will block incoming calls and notifications when your computer goes to sleep.,Also reduce background application activity,Further save power。

Through the above two settings,You can effectively reduce the power consumption of your Mac in standby mode,Improve battery life,Make your MacBook experience smoother and save power。
