AlDente does not work anymore after update to macOS Ventura

[dnns123]

Hello,

I have updated to Mac Ventura today. Unfortunately, since then AlDente no longer works. Even though it is set to 80%, the laptop loads to 100%.

Does anyone have a similar error?

Thanks

Hi @dnns123,

This might be due to a known bug. Please check out this comment I made in another thread:

Hi everyone,

We are sorry that so many of you had issues with AlDente after the newest macOS update.
We are aware of this issue but did not find a solution yet. However, we will keep working on it and give updates here.
I have also updated our FAQs about this topic:

AlDente stops working after the macOS update!

Unfortunately, AlDente temporarily does not work after a macOS update for a small number of users.

To get AlDente to work again, please try the following steps which have worked for many users before:

1. Unplug and discharge your MacBook to less than your current charge limit in AlDente
2. Turn off your MacBook and close the lid for a couple of minutes
3. Unplug the power brick from the outlet and wait a couple of minutes
4. Turn on your MacBook and plug it in again
5. Check if it stops charging at the charge limit set in AlDente

We are aware of this bug for a while now but were so far not able to fix it. However, we will keep trying.

One possibility to actively avoid this issue during the next macOS update is to close AlDente completely before the update and restart it when the update is finished.

Cheers,
Matthias

I have also had the issue where aldente closes by itself with Ventura 3.0. I have set all permissions to run in background as far as I can tell. It worked before updating.Just tried the above, will see if it helps.

But I did try the above and it seems to be working again. What do you know?!
