I have the Macbook Pro M1, connected to the monitor with USB, and powered only with the USB C, which is very convenient, but if I put the computer to sleep, the next day the battery has been drained, depending on the time up to 10, 20 or 30% overnight.
The only thing I have connected to the USB hub is a keyboard.
Hi there,
At which state did you leave the monitor in when putting the Macbook to sleep?
Just to confirm:
- You’re plugged into the type C port on the bottom of the Spectrum, not the one on the side.
- You’re not hitting the Spectrum’s power button to turn it off when you’ve finished using it.
Only the type C port on the bottom of the Spectrum (near the power cable) is capable of outputting enough power to keep a MacBook charged. The Spectrum will only do this when it’s turned on (even if it’s in standby), not when it’s turned off.

All correct, exactly as you described. I’ve been disconnecting the USB C cable from the mac as a solution and or have the mac powered, so I don’t wake up with no battery.
