IT Home January 31 news, Apple last week released macOS Monterey 12.2 official version, according to MacRumors reported that some Mac users who installed software updates in sleep mode will have excessive power consumption problems, which seems to be caused by Bluetooth accessories often waking the computer.
Affected users said that since updating to macOS 12.2, their Mac computer battery level dropped from 100% to 0% overnight. Some users have found that Bluetooth often causes "DarkWake from Deep Idle," causing the Mac to wake up from sleep repeatedly, draining the battery. The issue appears to affect both Intel-based macs and Apple M1-based Macs.
Users report that the problem goes away when Bluetooth is disabled or all Bluetooth accessories are disconnected from their Mac, but this is not an ideal solution. Apple released the first beta version of macOS 12.3 earlier this week, but it's unclear if that version solves the problem.
IT House understands that macOS Monterey 12.2 is a bug fix update that addresses a privacy breach in safari that could lead to the disclosure of users' recent browsing history and identity information to malicious entities.
Maybe Apple didn't expect that while fixing a vulnerability, it also brought a big bug.
