Hello,
First of all thanks a lot for all the efforts put into this, excellent it is working again.
I tested immediately after release and observed the following:
It seems like sometimes the MBP modifies something and tries charging - until this is detected by AlDente some charge leaks.
My setup: MBP, Apple charger that came with the book + a thunderbolt dock inbetween the charger and laptop.
@vicemice commented on GitHub (Feb 15, 2021):
I have the same issue on M1 Air. After studying syslog I found new messages:
Not sure whether those are related, though.
Could you please elaborate how charge limit has been achieved since there's no SMC on M1 macs? Is it possible to do a full rollback to initial configuration?
@AppleRobert commented on GitHub (Feb 16, 2021):
I have noticed the same behavior on my M1 MBA. I have the app set at 75% and the system battery reading was 80% which is what I wanted. The battery stayed at 80-81% until I either changed users or rebooted. When I do either of those things, the battery appears to charge. My battery percentage has risen to 85%. Last night the app did th same thing. I reinstalled several times making sure to reset battery to 100% and then doing a cold boot. Last night my battery got to 96% and the app was set to 77%.
@itsDaniel-23 commented on GitHub (Feb 16, 2021):
I experienced the same on my MBA. Had it charged to 50% yesterday and then dropped Aldente to 40% max. I didn’t shut down my Mac just closed the lid, left it on the charger all night and this morning my charge went up to 65%. Oh and prevent sleep is turned on even though in Aldente it says false.
@DevinKott commented on GitHub (Feb 16, 2021):
Same problem here. Yesterday, I couldn't get it to work. I installed while at 90%, and it was not working (still charging). Rebooted a couple of times and same problem. Plugged it in again today at 85%, and I saw that it did stop the charging for a couple of minutes but now it is back to charging.
Charge max has been set to 75%, so I'm way above the limit I set.
@timension commented on GitHub (Feb 16, 2021):
I can confirm that the charge is slowly increasing. About 1-2 percents per hour. I have M1 MBA.
@davidwernhart commented on GitHub (Feb 16, 2021):
Hey guys! Sorry to hear about your inconveniences. Sadly so far, I was not able to reproduce this behaviour on my M1 Macbook Pro. I have now compiled a new version that modifies the CH0C key instead of CH0B, which seems to be more conistent in it's behaviour. Also I fixed a bug regarding the disable sleep assertions. I attached this version for you to test if you want to, maybe it fixes the problems you are experiencing.
@vicemice , there actually is a SMC on M1 macs, allthough it is built into the M1 SOC instead of being a seperate chip. Since the keys for the new SMC are different, charging now has to be manually stopped by an active programm, for this reason, it does not work while rebooting or changing users.
Hope that clears some questions up.
Lots of love,
David

The battery was slowly charging in my MBP M1 too. It went up 4% in an afternoon while also saying "not charging".
The behavior seemingly stopped once I disabled the MacOS "optimized battery charging" feature. No change in battery % overnight.
@vicemice commented on GitHub (Feb 17, 2021):
@davidwernhart Thanks! Is it possible to reset integrated SMC to defaults?
@patryk-jason commented on GitHub (Feb 17, 2021):
I'm very thankful to everyone who made it work on M1.
I can also confirm that it is still slightly charging Macbook when AlDente is turned on.
@martinkasa commented on GitHub (Feb 17, 2021):
I disabled "optimized battery charging" as @mkln said with limit to 70%. Currently, after 5 hours it is still stable on 70%.
@davidwernhart commented on GitHub (Feb 17, 2021):
@vicemice to reset the SMC on M1, you simply have to power down the notebook and close the lid for 30 seconds.
@patryk-jason have you tried the new version and disabled optimized charging?
btw, changes from the test version are new also available in the newest release, plus automatic battery discharging.
@patryk-jason commented on GitHub (Feb 17, 2021):
@davidwernhart I'll try new version tommorow. Optimized charging was enabled. We'll see tommorow. Thanks
@timension commented on GitHub (Feb 17, 2021):
Do I understand it correctly that if I want to restore the Mac to the original state I just remove the app, switch off the computer and close the lid?
@LeshawnG commented on GitHub (Feb 17, 2021):
Confirming charging slowly occurs with optimized charging enabled. Not sure about disabled yet.
About to uninstall AlDente 2.0 (set to 100%first) and the helper as well from
/Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/com.davidwernhart.Helperthen power down and closing the lid for 30 sec. I'll turn off optimized charging before installing 2.1 then update again in a few hours after keeping the charger connected.Quick update on my setup and settings:
Using an 18W Apple charger with an MBP M1 13" (Big Sur 11.1) with AlDente 2.0 and optimized battery charging on.
Charging rate about 0.1-0.2%/hr (monitoring exact % using Better Battery 2 or Coconut Battery). In 24 hours, the macOS battery reading increased from 50-59%. Charger connected icon is always displayed.
The laptop was asleep, plugged in for about 3.5/4 hours (between 4-8pm) and it charged roughly 5% and the remaining 4% charged while I was actively using it later in the night.
@AppleRobert commented on GitHub (Feb 17, 2021):
I installed the build attached to the thread. I have not experienced any battery charging overnight. I do not put my M1 MBA to sleep. I just turn the screen off. The only time I see a increase in charging now, is during reboot or changing users, which is to be expected.
@patryk-jason commented on GitHub (Feb 18, 2021):
With new version and optimized charging disabled charging stops exactly on the level I've set (MBP M1) I'm very happy with new discharging functionality - I was wondering about it several times. Very useful!
@daudt commented on GitHub (Feb 18, 2021):
I think what is causing this issue is the "optimize battery charging" option in system preferences (as other have mentioned above). I've noticed the same behavior before unchecking that and now everything appears to be working properly. Battery percentage has not changed while plugged in for over 24 hours.
@mkln commented on GitHub (Feb 18, 2021):
Yep, this is what I see after disabling optimized charging from system preferences:
@DevinKott commented on GitHub (Feb 18, 2021):
When turning off the Apple Battery Optimization, the application works correctly and inhibits charging at the specified limit (which is great!). However, I have the limit set to 59% and it has slowly crept up to 62% within the last couple of hours. Will keep an eye on it.
When clicking the battery icon, it says "Battery Is Not Charging" when plugged in.
@timension commented on GitHub (Feb 18, 2021):
Can confirm that the latest version of the software works as expected even with the Apple Battery Optimization TURNED ON. No creep charge during last four hours.
@chuanhhoang commented on GitHub (Feb 19, 2021):
Is the 2.1 compiled with CH0C or CH0B?
@davidwernhart commented on GitHub (Feb 19, 2021):
@chuanhhoang it is compiled with CH0C for M1 and CH0B for Intel (Since CH0C does not exist for intel)
@Limeybastid commented on GitHub (Feb 21, 2021):
Using version prior to 2.1 was solid, just deleted current version and installed 2.1
@hgo11 commented on GitHub (Feb 21, 2021):
Thanks a lot, appears to be rock solid now.
@timension commented on GitHub (Feb 24, 2021):
Well, the case is closed but the issue with creep charge has unexpectedly come back. After it worked as it should for a week with constant SoC of 40%, during the last 24 hours it increased by 2% when the lid was closed. It's not a disaster and I can definitely live with it but still something is a little off.
I run AlDente 2.1 Alpha on MBA, M1.
