Get Al Dente Pro and set your battery to 80% and do a full cycle once a month. It'll extend the life tremendously. https://apphousekitchen.com/aldente-overview/

  >Get Al Dente Pro and set your battery to 80% and do a full cycle once a month MacOS does that natively. My battery rarely charges above 80% because I "almost never use it on battery so there's no need."

    > MacOS does that natively Poorly, mine still hasn't learned, after 3 years, that it spends 99% of its time connected to a Thunderbolt charging monitor. And regularly discharges itself over the weekend because it failed to fall asleep properly.

      Does macos have sleep problems these days as well? I had the impression it's usually pucca due to hardware-software vertical integration in apple land.

        Mine does, yep. After almost every long weekend the battery is dead if I don't shut it down entirely. It's probably because it's a laptop that stays always closed, connected to a Thunderbolt monitor, and on/off are done via the monitor, so sometimes something gets mixed up, but even then it's pretty bad.

  I like how it's normal in the Apple ecosystem to pay 11€ yearly subscription for extremely basic features that come by default, for free, on most other laptop vendor/OS combos.
