Apple Intelligence's overnight cron is randomly waking macOS 27 machines
DanielLockyer · x · 2026-10-02
After upgrading to macOS 27, a user hit random system wake-ups. They had AI parse the system logs into an HTML timeline, which traced the culprit to an Apple Intelligence overnight cron that toggles charging status on and off, triggering the chime and waking the machine.
Workaround: disable the charging chime and PowerNap — wake-ups gone.
