MacBook Air M1 2020 Battery drain when sleeping

[Richard1507]

Hi, my brand new MB Air M1 2020 drains battery when sleeping. This is output of pmset -g assertions, I can see Handoff there. Is there any way to keep Handoff turned on, but put my MacBook to really sleep when I close the lid? Thank you so much.

Handoff is waking up in sleep cycle to call home! So go into the application and open that program a turn it off!

If you're still wondering..

System Preferences > General > (bottom) Allow Handoff...
you can also search (top right)

In my case, turning off Handoff helped, but solve the continuous wake up issues. As I understand it, Apple thinks the M1 is consumer so little power, it's more convenient that it "wakes up to do a few things". Although some nights I losing 10% per hour, waking up every minute. 🤦‍♀️ https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/macbook-air-m1-battery-drain-anybody-else.2270192/post-31064653
