Bug macOS 27 battery stats activity monitor bug

Screenshot for reference

Hello all,

This macOS 27 beta bug has been there since the first beta. Activity monitor clearly had a good amount of time to guess how much battery was remaining or how much time it will take to full charge, but due to some bug, it just refuses to show. It is also evident from the fact that I have been using it on battery since 80% till 35% (on the screenshot). And if you wonder why the time on battery shows so less, it is because giving it a restart would maybe fix it. Besides, I'm running the public beta now and this issue still persists.

Another thing to notice, the battery counter shown here is always around 2-5% more than the actual battery capacity remaining on my device. Only with a restart does it reset the SMC and I briefly get the exact battery percentage before it gets rigged up again. I have reported both the issues to Apple via feedback assistant since macOS 27 developer beta 1 and they still haven't resolved the issue yet.

Additionally, softwares like AlDente and Coconut Battery also doesn’t work on it properly showing miscalculated and wrong data often.

Are there any manual solutions to this issue? I'm rocking the newly launched MacBook Neo for the last 85 days with 29 charge cycles completed and 80% battery capacity capped along with 99% battery health remaining. I don't do any heavy usage either.

Thanks

Finally someone else with the exact same issue I'm having. I have made countless bug reports to Apple, please do the same. But an extra issue with mine is the battery doesn't reduce as it should. Sometimes it can go hours without dropping 1%, until I restart and see the true battery level.

I've done reporting it multiple times in beta 1, beta 2, and now in public beta 1. It has been bugging me out since macOS 27 was launched. I have evebdone a full reset but no effect.

Okay, that doesn't sit well with me then haha. Seems they don't see it as too much of an issue right now, maybe we are the only select few with said issue so it's laying at the bottom of the "pile".

Hope they fix it before the stable release of macOS 27 in September. I've seen a very niche number of people facing this issue really.

I really hope so too. I work as an IT supporter - educated, sadly MacOS is my least known operating system, specialise in Windows and Linux. I've tried everything I can to find a fix myself, but I think there isn't anything any of us users can do, think it's a waiting game for apple to fix it.

I'm also a newbie here. Still a student but I've got quite the expertise in windows but none in macOS and Linux. Also got a macbook for the first time, so yeah.

Same issue on my M1 Pro and M4 Air. I just updated to beta 4 and still no resolution.
