I’ve got a 2.9 GHz 6-Core Intel Core i9 Macbook Pro (yes, the one with the touchbar and the keyboard nobody likes)…

Anyway, it’s been working great, aside from this issue which seems to happen on occasion, when I don’t keep it plugged in overnight. It will just drain real fast sometimes.

What causes batteries to just drain over the course of an hour or so?

    App and system updates often run overnight, and this can take up a lot of power. Plus, your battery is shot, and it’s time to replace it.
