SMC goes back to normal after resetting

Block Image

Hi, I have a Macbook air from 2017, just got it under a month ago… I have tried resetting the SMC many times and it has successfully worked fine… although after a couple of days, it is back to normal again… I do this because the batterylife is draining a little too fast and the fan makes loud noises without having barely anything open. I was thinking if there was a way so I didn’t have to reset the SMC all the time? Thanks!

Answer this question I have this problem too

First lets double check the battery install this app CoconutBattery take a snapshot and port it here for us to see Adding images to an existing question

But even still you likely have a simple issue! Check your drives free space is it at least 1/4 of the total space of your drive? If not you’ll need to clean off some of your stuff. If you have a smaller 128 GB model you’ll want 1/3 free.

What happens is the SSD drive needs to recover space by applying wear-leveling so the free space is not over stressed from Virtial RAM and other uses each time an app is loaded.

Hi, thanks for the help! The problem is that barely have anything on my computer because it’s brand new. When I use it, I never have more than 2 tabs open while using safari.

I would recommend you copy off your stuff and then return the system to the seller as it likely needs repairs. This is not normal!
