Why Does Mac Lose Internet When Not Used For A While

I have poured over threads here, articles, forums, google, etc. And found that it is not uncommon for these machines to lose 1-2% per hour while sleeping. No one seems to have a fix. There are lots of things to try which I have - shutting off wifi, bluetooth, notifications, terminal commands to kill TCP processing, wake on bluetooth, hibernation timing, etc. (and shutting it on and off is not a solution).

When I quit working on the computer for the night I leave it in hibernation mode. This site uses cookies for analytics, personalized content and ads.

I have nothing plugged into my machine (USB, ethernet, etc.). Brand new battery with 4 cycle on it that is performing well. I know there are other threads on this here, but I thought I would start a fresh one to see if anyone has found a solution. It just sucks taking my machine out of my bag after a few days to find it dead. I'll try anything, but I fear there is no solution.

When I had this model (and previous), it lost 10-15%/day when sleeping. This was addressed starting with the 2013 models.

I believe this is expected behavior. But it sounds like you have something more power hungry going on. Have you looked at the Energy tab in Activity Monitor. Even with the lid open it can show power-hungry processes, and this can suggest things which may keep running when sleeping. Larry Joe - How about conducting an experiment for us.

It will take 6 days. Here's how to proceed: DAY 1: In the evening, before bed, put the MBP on charge. Get it up to 100% Then, close the cover and let it sleep for the night In the morning, open it and RECORD ON PAPER the percentage of battery discharge. REPEAT this for days 2 and 3. Save the results each day. DAY 4: In the evening, again charge the MBP to 100%, BUT. Shut it down tonight.

On days 1-3 I would expect the same results as I have now. A loss of 12%+ overnight? I pretty much do this every night these days as part of my obsession with solving this. On days 4-6, shouldn't the results be 100% or close? Not trying to be a smart ass here, but I know your recommendation many times has been to just power it down and up in lieu of closing the lid and letting it sleep which although it works, is not the way it is supposed to be. So I hope your experiment isn't just to prove a point?
