MacBook pro m4pro battery life breaks down

I switched to m4pro. The energy consumption mode was automatic and the brightness was automatic. I only turned on some chrome and vscode remote and some other programs with no load. The power of 70 can only be used for 4 hours? It's so different from the previous experience when using M1 mbp. It has been used for a while, so it can roughly rule out the reason why spotlight rebuilds the index? Other friends who use m4pro, what is the power consumption situation?

Anonymous8238 May 17, 2025Huh? Huh? That's wrong, right? I also have an M4pro, mbp 14-inch, driving Unity, goland, cursor, edge and other miscellaneous things, and it only loses 30% of the power in four hours. Unity still has a lot of graphics card load. You really have to check this. What's going on?

Anonymous11508 May 17, 2025Next macmon, take a look at the total standby power consumption. Divide the battery watt-hours by the power consumption to get the standby time https://www.v2ex.com/t/1130655

Anonymous2135 May 17, 2025If you look at the activity monitor, you will know who consumes the most power within 12 hours, which is quite abnormal

Anonymous2690 May 17, 2025Restored from the backup of the last computer, right? Try reinstalling the system

Poster May 17, 2025@ Anonymous8238 Is the power saving mode on?

Poster May 17, 2025@ Anonymous4386 chrome accounts for 400, others are below 100 (2, 30), which is not high

Poster May 17, 2025@ Anonymous11508 is generally around 10w, and it only takes about 7h to be fully charged, which consumes much more power than m1

Poster May 17, 2025@ Anonymous4812 I have no problem sleeping. After looking at the power consumption, chrome is indeed the highest. I will reinstall chrome and observe again. Thank you

Poster May 17, 2025@ Anonymous3172 Is it a comparison of the same model? Is there any after-sales service?

Poster May 17, 2025@ Anonymous2690 Yes, time machine restored, reinstalling the system is not realistic

Anonymous633 May 17, 2025I feel that the battery life of m4 max is half that of m4

Anonymous11909 May 17, 2025I'm an M1 Air, and I encountered desktop widgets that caused battery life to drop sharply when I was on macOS 15.4. It's slightly better after removing the desktop widget, and it's completely normal after updating to macOS 15.5.

Anonymous2236 May 17, 2025@ Poster I also have a high-end M4 Pro, which is usually around 6w. Your 10w should really run in the background and front desk

Anonymous906 May 18, 2025The suspicion of some "programs with no load" cannot be ruled out. If you suspect a hardware problem and want to test the battery, the first step is to reset the system
