I've got a macbook. I don't use it much, and it sits on the side desk. Yesterday I charged it to 100% (which I had to click on a thing in the menu to allow; it only wanted to go to 80%) and then afterwards unplugged it and closed the lid. Today I've just opened it and it's at 1% charge. Do they not suspend properly or something? Surely it shouldn't use battery power while the lid is closed?

hm, I have had a thought about this macbook battery thing.
If the lid is closed (so it's suspended), and I connect power to it, I believe it might wake up according to a stackoverflow post. This is fine, because it's connected to power. But if I then disconnect the power again, still without ever having opened the lid... surely the laptop goes back to sleep again? Is it not clever enough to do that? It surely doesn't stay awake with the lid shut until the battery runs down?

I am updating this laptop to macos 15.2, to see if that fixes (a) battery things (b) activity monitor crashing with SIGILL now that I've run the bootup diagnostics once (c) after flushing nvram and SMC didn't help

well, updating the OS has fixed Activity Monitor crashing on start, anyway, so that's presumably an improvement. Investigation continues.
