Charging Issues after Sonoma Upgrade

I have an M1 (2020 version) and an M2 (2022 version), I've updated the m2 (to Sonoma) first and the m1 the next day. It works just fine but charging was intermittent. The day after, both Macs stopped charging totally.

I've tried all possible solutions from the internet and Apple's support chat but nothing worked.

I've tried 4 chargers in total and my chargers would work on my brother's Macs which are still in Ventura. My chargers which would work on my Macs would work perfectly fine on my brother's Macs (Ventura).

I do not see any other threads/forums online of people having this issue so I wanted to check here if anybody else has the same issue as this?

P.S. I've sent both Macs to an authorized Apple service center for diagnostics but I'm wondering how this could happen since both Macs would work fine before I've upgraded. The issues started to appear only after the upgrade.

Same here on macbookpro 16 2019, as soon as updated to sonoma, no charging, I have different charges and cables that worked well before, none of them work now. Can only charge with the lid closed, and then after a while boot, but it does not charge so goes back to no battery and shut off. This is a nightmare, the mac os updates are a bug problem, and I waited for more than 6 months, but it seems that we should wait for 2 years. It is becoming windows, very low quality, update just for update, and big issues like this one to move people away from apple to anything else! All this time since this report and still no fix!! What a disappointment.

Hi everyone! These days I had the same issue with my 16’ macbook pro M1 (2021) running Sonoma 14.5, and since I think I found the problem, or perhaps it would be better to say bug, I wanted to share with you what I did in order to charge my mac again and hoping I can help someone.

So, if you go to settings>battery, in this tab you have two energy mode options: battery power and plugged into a power adatapter . By default (I think) the energy mode plugged into a power adatapter should be set to automatic mode. When I switched this settings into low power or high power and plugged the magsafe, it magically started to work perfectly. Another setting that might give you problems (not to me apparently) is the optimized battery charging , which you can find inside the battery health status, you can try to switch it on/off and see if you notice any changes.

I don’t think there is a particular rule to fix this, and since it is clear that it is something that Apple need to fix via software, the only thing that we can do is to play with these settings until you see some changes and maybe solve the problem.
