MBA M1 - Charging problems

[Rajce]

Hello,

I have a charging problem.

When I charge my MBA over night, disconnect it in the morning, use it until cca 60 % and then connect the charger it won't start. I have to reconnect it, sometimes even twice.

If I don't disconnect it in the morning, it correctly uses adapter as power source.

Thanks!

If this was happening to my MBA, I would first try it with a different wall outlet. And if that didn't resolve it (and I didn't have a spare charger to test with), I'd make an Apple Store Genius Bar appointment (or contact Support).

Try turning off 'optimized battery charging' setting to see if it makes a difference. Curious which port you're using to charge, towards rear or towards front?

For battery settings I normally leave default unless troubleshooting an issue like having to turn off auto brightness. For charging ports, it shouldn't matter and I haven't had issue with towards back but you never know. Seems like every day is a surprise.

It seems to be fixed in 11.2.

For anyone interested:

Optimized charging was off. Now even if it is on, it charges correctly.
