Hi

I'm using the free tier of Aldente and a 2019 MacBook Pro (16"). It seems when the app gets closed, the battery won't be charging anymore and battery status says: "Plugged but Not Charging". Can you confirm this is the expected behavior?

If yes: I remember from another discussion that Aldente uses low-level system registries to control battery charging. Why does closing the app disables all such settings?

Hi @emadpres,

Do you use the Intel Mode of AlDente?

Cheers,

No, the Intel checkbox is not ticked.

Hi @emadpres,

It is definitely not the intended behavior of AlDente to prohibit charging when AlDente is closed.
Please try to completely reinstall AlDente.

Cheers,
Matthias
