Owners of Apple laptops are reporting that the most recent update to Monterey, version 12.2, is draining their batteries.
The issue appears to be related to a glitch in how the update interacts with Bluetooth; by activating it every few minutes laptops are being awakened from sleep mode. The issue appears to impact both Intel-based and M1-based models.
Apple has yet to release a patch or comment on the issue.
Users experiencing the issue are encouraged to either disable Bluetooth or disconnect Bluetooth devices when not in use.
