I’ve got a 2.9 GHz 6-Core Intel Core i9 Macbook Pro (yes, the one with the touchbar and the keyboard nobody likes)…
Anyway, it’s been working great, aside from this issue which seems to happen on occasion, when I don’t keep it plugged in overnight. It will just drain real fast sometimes.
What causes batteries to just drain over the course of an hour or so?

That’s why. The cells are worn out and they can’t hold a change anymore.

And good luck. It’s one of the hardest Macbooks to fix.
Jesus H Christ on a cracker. I got halfway through this and it starts talking about removing the fucking trackpad and microphone and I’m like, oh, this must be a full breakdown… nope! You have to literally take the whole thing apart to free the battery. Fucking Apple. They make great shit, but they just want you to buy a new one.
