I'm not able to set time for hibernate in System preferences > Battery

By HEXAGON, 22 February, 2021

macOS and Mac Apps

Hi everyone,
The subject says it already. I cannot set the time after how many minutes my macbook air goes into the hibernate mode. If I open System preferences and then navigate to battery > Battery in the table, and then adjust the value there and then quit system preferences, the value always jumps back to the default setting of 3,3 percent (2 minutes).

More info about my system:
macOS Big Sur 11.2.1 on a new M1 MacBook Air, VoiceOver enabled.
Does someone else encounter this behaviour?

Caffeine might be the solution

Yes, I experience this as well. And it's very annoying.
Apple might set this to keep the long battery times. But I actually want to decide this on my own.
Anyway, Caffeine solved it and now I'm quite happy with my new Mac with M1.

The ghing is that is also…

The ghing is that is also works by setting the value with the trackpad without VoiceOver. My brother has now set it to 100 percent and it works fine.

Is there a solution to this issue yet?

I came across this forum topic today and I see That the original poster got cited help. However, the issue is still present on macOS Monterey and I cannot for the life of me figure out how to make it save in system preferences. I have tried everything, Control option space on the slider, right clicking, enter, pressing the trackpad, nothing works. I even contacted Apple and they couldn’t help me. Does anyone have a solution to this? If not, can you give me instructions on how to do it with the trackpad so I can at least try that? Gosh this is so frustrating

if you don't want to deal with that

amphetamine works great for this.i still have my mac to sleep on the defaut settings, but since I have amphetamine enabled, they don't trigger. This is on the mac appstore.

pmset

Of course, there's always the command line. (You can fix anything at the command line, eventually.) See "man pmset" for full discussion, but if you want to set the sleep value, you do something like "sudo pmset -a sleep 5" to set all profiles to 5 minutes sleep.

here's how to fix it

I came across this issue and I was able to fix it by doing the following:
First, you have to set the mouse pointer to follow the VoiceOver cursor by going to VoiceOver utility/ Navigation/ mouse pointer pop-up and set it to follow the VoiceOver Cursor.
Then, go to the slider in Battery settings and set it to the value that you wish, and click on the down left corner of the trackpad and it should work.

Thank you, Hasan

I was able to fix it but I needed to turn off the voiceover before clicking on trackpad.
