Hi, I installed and update the macOS Big Sur latest available beta and after installation is done, It is showing me battery service required warning in my battery icon, My mac is new and it's been hardly 5-6 months and used casually.
After Installing MacOS Big Sur latest beta update, My mac is showing battery service required warning in battery Icon.
Same happening with me. I have the 2020 MBP with 4 ports. After installing the Big Sur Beta, my MBP's fans have been running like crazy. The battery dies so quickly and I also had the 'Service Battery' message but thats gone now. I bought my laptop about a month ago. I really hope the fans are fixed when the proper OS is released :(
I'm having the exact issue. Reset the P-Ram and It should go away.
Even in Beta 9 the issue persists. MacBook Pro 15" Mid 2015 with dedicated graphics.
My MBP 15" 2016 (4 ports) has the same problem and I do indeed think it's a bug that should probably be reported!
I installed macOS Big Sur beta shortly after its release and it had some obvious beta software issues but none that had something to do with battery, except that it ate battery for breakfast which was the reason I downgraded back to Catalina.
But yesterday I re-upgraded my MBP 15" 2016 to Big Sur beta 10 and boom - battery recommendations popped up! Resetting the SMC worked until I recharged my Mac after it went to sleep due to empty battery. Haven't tried to reset PRAM yet, but that's going to be the next step.
The only positive in my case is, that short battery life issues are gone with macOS Big Sur beta 10!

Same issue. MacBook Pro 15" 2016
I have a MacBook air 2017 and it's showing service required. The battery capacity drop from 83% to 73% in 2 weeks. Big Sur beta is killing my battery. I'll be going back to Catalina for sur.
Same issue to me, New MacBook Pro 13 battery health dropped from 100% to 94% in one week.
Same issue with my MacBook Pro. The problem is still a current one. The battery appears to charge correctly, but its charge level is showing as 1% and my system shuts down immediately if the power adapter is disconnected. I also get the battery needs service message. I hope they fix this one quickly.
I recently purchased my first Macbook Pro and I noticed that my battery life would go from 100% to 97-95% within 5 minutes of unplugging it from the power brick. It would take about another 5 minutes to go down another 5%.
Today I talked to a technician at Apple and she looked at everything and ran a diagnostic and my battery looked sound. But I was still losing power faster than I thought I would. I ended up upgrading to Big Sur and now my battery life is doing great... actually retaining more percentage than it did when I purchased it! Does anyone know if battery life on a Macbook Pro can be remedied by a software upgrade? I am new to Mac so please educate me! Thank you!

Same problem, the battery was working perfectly before updating, now it’s just stuck at 1% and when moment I unplug, it turns off, this is a serious problem and needs to get fixed asap
Same problem, the battery was working perfectly before updating, now it’s just showing service recommended warning and diagnostics is not showing any problem, this is a serious bug with battery on Big Sur.

Same here my Mac is overheating while using safari and my battery is is draining fast compared to Mac OS Catalina, My Mac is not even a year old.

Same thing is happening to me, I installed Big Sur and my MacBook is running really hot and draining the battery super quick. I only have safari open and after a few minutes, the fans run loud and battery drains.

i have a 2020 macbook bro almost $5,000 in the first two weeks screen cracked because of shity ass design, paid $100 on top of warranty, i get it back, and same shit again except this time, screen display just goes crazy....i cannot afford to give it in for 2-3 weeks again as its my work machine...and now this stupid ass update my battery is on 7%...and stuck there while plugged in and if unplugged dead... BRAND NEW LAPTOP issues....and the damn sales rep lied to me about the warranty when purchasing their brand is going to shit.
bought laptop less than 2 months ago and as soon as I get the update my battery is stuck on 75% if I take the batter adapter out it just switches off! I'm raging
Same issue. At 1%. Won’t charge. Can’t take it off cord or it dies. Total BS. They are crippling productivity. If you look back at the beta(s) over the summer, people were complaining about the same issue. But they released it anyway!!?????? WTF?
After installing Big Sur my battery drains very quickly, from 4-6 hours with Catalina to 2-3 hours now. MacBook Air 2014
I have same problem on my macbook pro 13, 2016 with battery draining much faster, within few hours is done... I upgrade to Big Sur yesterday and right after completion the overheating began. Laptop is also very hot. Previusly I had Catalina and didn't have any issue and baterry last much more longer.
