MBP 14" M1 Pro battery drain issue

[AjTee]

Hello,

I have found that these two processes wake my laptop during sleep:

2022-07-21 06:01:36 +0200 Wake Requests [*process=powerd request=UserWake deltaSecs=75 wakeAt=2022-07-21 06:02:52 info="com.apple.alarm.user-visible-seld_processing,519"] (I have a lot of them during last 24h)
2022-07-16 12:11:03 +0200 Wake Requests [*process=mDNSResponder request=Maintenance deltaSecs=2689 wakeAt=2022-07-16 12:55:52 info="DHCP lease renewal"] (Have only a few of them)

What are these two processes? Can I disable them?

I have already disabled power nap, tcpkeepalive, screen time, proximitywake. Bluetooth is still enabled.

I have attached file with pmset -g log | grep "Wake Requests" command result.

Below you can find battery history.

Please help.

I have no idea what's going on, but FYI...Apple Silicon machines don't have Power Nap. They contain efficiency cores that perform the same functions as power nap on Intel machines but at much lower power, and those tasks cannot be turned off.

This article may give you an idea of where else to start looking:

Why does my Mac keep waking up?

When you wake your laptop up in the morning, it’s clear it has been awake half the night. How to ensure it gets a proper night’s sleep.

I have power nap set to 0, should I set it again to 1 or it does not matter on M1?

 

[chabig]

Power nap doesn't exist on M1 machines. It's an Intel only feature. For you, I assume '0' means more 'not turned on' rather than 'turned off.' Look elsewhere. Have you rebooted the computer?

 

[AjTee]

Yes I have rebooted it.

Ok, I have disabled Bluetooth before sleep and now is much better.

My solution to "MacBook Pro waking up too much" during sleep:
Shut it down.
(really nothing more to write, it's simple and it works)

But starting up for a shut down is totally different from waking from sleep. My Intel MacBook is able to sleep for weeks without the battery going to zero. My 14" MBP can't even make it one week. It's very disappointing to open the computer for use and find the battery fully drained.
