Originally created by @burnout-syndrome on GitHub (Nov 21, 2021).

I used the "Deactivate sleep" function for the first time today. After switching off, I noticed that the screen saver was no longer activated on my MacBook, the sleep item in the Apple menu is grayed out. A pmset-g in the terminal tells me "sleepdisabled 1" and displaysleep "display sleep prevented by com.apphousekitchen.aldente". How do I get back to my previous settings? Deactivating the slider in AlDente does nothing. The switch does not undo the settings you have made. How can I change this again manually?
A restart and PRAM reset did not change anything.

@burnout-syndrome, Same thing happened to me. My MacBook discharged from 50 to zero with closed lid from Saturday to Monday (not plugged in to charger).

My solution:

Turn off "Disable sleep until Charge Limit"
Uninstall AiDente Helper -> at this point you can put to sleep your machine again.
Reinstall AiDente Helper (I don't turn on the Disable Sleep... setting again)

Hope this helps.

My Machine: MacBook Pro 14, 12.0.1, latest AiDente

com.apphousekitchen.aldente-pro.helper is preventing sleep when locked (the screen doesn't turn off). Using:

AlDente 1.14
Monterey 12.1 (21C52)
MacBook Air (M1, 2020)

After killing the helper it sleeps normally.

Hi @lgberro,

It would be helpful if you could generate and share a debug file with us when it happens the next time. You can find a guide for the debug file here: https://apphousekitchen.com/how-to-generate-and-share-a-debug-file/

Is the Sleep option greyed out when you encounter this problem?

Cheers,
Matthias
