I used OpenCore to upgrade my 2016 13" Touch Bar MacBook Pro (2.9GHz, 16GB of RAM) to Sequoia 15.3.1. Since then, on battery, it has been randomly shutting off. I initially though this was an issue with the battery calibration, but I recalibrated the battery and it did not fix it. Often, I close the laptop (sleep mode) and don't use it for a few hours, and then I take it out only to find it has completely shut off and has to reboot and reload all my stuff again, which is a bit of a pain. (I get the "Your computer restarted because of a problem" message when logging in.) This has been going on for several weeks, and I first noticed it after upgrading it with OpenCore. Do you think that's the issue, or is it an issue with the battery? The battery has around 500 cycles and reports about 85% health in CoconutBattery.
