        '-e',
        '$sshPath -l backuppc'
        ];
        $Conf{RsyncClientPath} = 'sudo /usr/bin/rsync';
        $Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = {
        '*' => ['/proc']
        };
        $Conf{WakeupSchedule} = [23];
        $Conf{PingMaxMsec} = 200;

Mac Drain Battery While Asleep

2021-10-31T00:00:00+00:00

My macbook is warm and drain battery over the night. So I investigate what happens.

It appears that the router cannot keep the Wi-Fi connection alive which causes mac to keep waking up every 2 minutes.

I start investigation using pmset -g log which print out the useful log on sleep and wake events of the mac.

Here I found mac tries to wake itself up trying to perform TCP keepalive.

The Solutions

There are many options to solve the problem.

replace the router to newer model or
simply disable tcpkeepalive pmset -b tcpkeepalive 0 or
turn off wifi and bluetooth (yes, bluetooth as well) before put the mac to sleep

One of the solution will work. It just a matter of what solution suits you best. I choose to turn off wifi and bluetooth since I only face this problem when I face the faulty router (not my home router).
