Used AlDente on an intel Mac and never had a problem (classic).

Just downloaded and started using on a m1 MacBook Pro. Set limit to 77% and it works as it should. However my battery temp (and laptop) are getting warmer then Ever before. I uninstalled and temps are back to normal.

Is this normal?? I checked the CPU usage with aldente installed and nothing stood out. I was using 1.08 when the overheating started.

Thanks

Hi @hashsi99,

AlDente should definitely not cause heat issues with your MacBook because it uses less than 1% of CPU resources.
You could try installing our latest version 1.09, maybe it will fix your issue.

Cheers,
Matthias

I’ll give it a try. Thanks for the quick response.

The pro does have some battery protection though correct?

Yes, AlDente Pro has the Heat Protection feature which will pause charging when the temperature of the battery is too hot.

Hi @hashsi99,

Do you still encounter any heat related issues with AlDente?

Otherwise, I would close this issue.

Cheers,
Matthias
