I have a 2015 MBA that I have configured with pmset -a hibernatemode 25, which to my understanding is supposed to write memory contents to ssd, then cut power, when lid closed. I'm new to MacOS but quite familar with other OS, and hiberation on Windows and Linux works the way I expected MacOS to do, with hibernatemode 25 set. I don't use the MBA all the time, but I do just close the lid when I'm done. The other day, I had been using the unit quite a bit on battery, and was down to ~20%. I recharged the system, noting that I got to 97% when I terminated the charge. Today, I open the unit, and instead of showing ~97%, I'm down to 85%... What is consuming that charge? Somebody please educate this MacOS noobie... Thanks

Update: I'm running Sequoia 15.0 using the OpenCoreLegacyPatcher. Could this have something to do with this issue?
