I just got an M1 Pro 14” 10c 32GB RAM and while the battery life is great compared to anything else I’ve used, it’s not as amazing as I would have hoped.
I get around 6 hours from 100% with a light Webpack dev workflow + Docker for Mac running in the background (arm64 postgres and redis containers).
Is that normal? powermetrics shows package power bouncing around 500mW - 10 watts when compiling, which would suggest I should be getting a lot more battery life. Is there a utility to reliably check power consumption of the whole system? Stats.app seems to think my system idles around 5 watts and goes to 40 watts when compiling which is much higher than the package power and my screen is only 1/3 brightness.
