Ever since updating my MacBook Pro with Sonoma 14.3 about a week ago, I've noticed a significant drop in battery life. Typically, I'm just using Chrome and my podcast app, but my battery has been draining unusually fast. For instance, in just 90 minutes, my battery plummeted from 100% to 38%. Also, when I leave my MacBook closed for a bit, say around 30% battery, I return to find it hot and the battery completely dead, despite it supposedly being in sleep mode. Additionally, I now need to press the power button to wake it up after just 10 minutes of sleep, and the fan seems to be working overtime. These issues only started after the Sonoma 14.3 update. My battery health appears normal, and I've even set it to low power mode on battery use. Activity Monitor only shows Chrome, the podcast app, and itself running. I've cleaned the fan, too. Is anyone else experiencing these issues?
