Another trick is to open Activity Monitor, switch to the Energy tab, and sort by the "Preventing sleep" column. Some apps prevent macOS from sleeping.

In my case, I've discovered that Devonthink (document/notes management app) is responsible. I've been meaning to file a bug report about it.

I'm surprised that Apple's power management doesn't have an alert for this. Surely an app that causes my Mac to become glowing hot while sitting in my backpack, not to mention slowly running out of battery, is a pretty important thing to intercept. Meanwhile, I keep being asked if Chrome should be allowed to find devices on my network, which doesn't seem nearly as important.

I wish ios had insights (and controls) like this.

So many apps have telemetry and data collection and notifications that eat up your battery and bandwidth for business (no good) reasons.

Can't you effectively check that through the background activity time in the battery usage overview?

I don't think that tells you anything except gross offenders.

I ran this app call Adblock which creates an on-device VPN (checks dns request)

Found for example the kindle (or audible?) app still does telemetry even if cellular data is turned off (to a2z.com)
