However, I checked last night that the battery was at 30% and still charging when I closed the lid, but in the morning the charging had stopped at 80%(the limit I set).
Thanks for this wonderful app 👍 |

Hi @honeySleepr, Thank you for your question and I understand your confusion.
In general, this is correct, however, since the introduction of the Apple Silicon Macs, this does not seem to be the case all the time anymore. Intel MacBooks had the option to activate the "Power Nap" feature in settings which would wake up the machine once in a while to check for emails and so on. On Apple Silicon Macs, this feature is completely gone and got replaced by a new, different version of it. This means, Apple Silicon Macs never completely sleep, and maybe third-party apps also sometimes get some CPU time which results in AlDente being able to stop charging even if your MacBook is theoretically asleep. However, this seems to be inconsistent and does not seem to work for everyone 100% of the time and not at all for Intel MacBooks. That's why we implemented the features "Stop charging when sleeping" and "Disable sleep until charge limit" to bring 100% consistent behavior to all of our users. Hope that helps to understand this topic better. :) Cheers, |
