Charged my MBP to 100% last night, unplugged the charger, closed it and went to bed. Woke up this morning, opened it up and battery was at 62%. An hour and a half of very light use later and it was at 11%!


I had a look at Activity Monitor and Twitter had a ridiculous number next to it so I shut Twitter down and charged it to 100% again. I unplugged the charger at 1.15pm and have been using it most of the time since and a little over 9 hours later, the battery is at 56%.


How can Twitter use so much power?


Macbook is a little over a week old.
 
The app might be poorly coded or something in the backend might have broken after the Musk layoffs and is pinging something repeatedly. Twitter.com had, at least at one point, browser-based notifications, so you could use the site for now.

Yeah, that's what I'm doing now. It was fine up to last night.
