Problems with Charging Power - only 85W

[maxxt98]

I have the Pro version of AlDente, and I'm facing an issue where my MacBook only charges at a maximum of 85W, even though it should be able to reach up to 140W.
When I restart my MacBook without AlDente in the startup, it reaches the expected power level, but as soon as I start the program, the charging power drops significantly.

Is there a workaround or a solution for this?

Hi @maxxt98,

AlDente does not influence the charging power. Is it possible that the normal charging power dropoff during the charging process coincided with AlDente being started?

Best,
Matthias

Hello Matthias, The MacBook is at 20%. After a restart without AlDente, I'm charging with 95W. As soon as I start AlDente (at around 23%), the charging power drops to below 30W and then builds back up to 85W. Greetings Max

Hi @maxxt98,

It sounds like charging is paused for a moment. Maybe due to Heat Protection, Sailing Mode, or Charge Limiter. Did you check the Power Flow chart to see where to energy is coming from and going to?

Best,

Hi Matthias,
I was about to record a video to show exactly how the performance changes, but I couldn't reproduce the error. I’ll keep monitoring the behavior.
