Usenapp prevents sleep mode on MacOS

irokez

after last Usenapp Update on MacOS Macbooks reboots permanently till the battery goes down to 0% and Macbook overheats with lid closed.

Steps to reproduce:

mimis-MBP:Amazon mimi$ pmset -g
System-wide power settings:
Currently in use:
standbydelaylow 10800
standby 1
womp 1
halfdim 1
hibernatefile /var/vm/sleepimage
powernap 1
gpuswitch 2
networkoversleep 0
disksleep 10
standbydelayhigh 86400
sleep 1 (sleep prevented by Usenapp)
autopoweroffdelay 28800
hibernatemode 3
autopoweroff 1
ttyskeepawake 1
displaysleep 10
highstandbythreshold 50
acwake 0

Workaround: use Usenapp only if you’re working with it, else close the app before the MacOS goes to hibernate/sleep mode

The continuous restart of your MacBook has nothing to do with Usenapp.

Usenapp uses Power Nap to prevent downloads from being interrupted as soon as the MacBook wants to go into sleep mode and this has never been different, but that has nothing to do with the continuous restart of your system.

Nothing has changed in the last update that could cause this. I don’t see this problem on my macbook either and I have not heard anyone else about this.

In short, apparently something else causes this on your MacBook.

The Line “Sleep 1 ** (Prevent sleep by Usenapp) **” is a cause by Power Nap, but this is what Power Nap is meant to do.
