Have you just plugged your MacBook in and yet the battery indicator in the menu bar says it’s not charging? Don’t panic, this can be explained as indicates it this new support sheet from Apple. As of macOS 10.15.5, MacBook Air and Pro with Thunderbolt 3 ports have a new battery health option.
This option aims to improve the life of the battery, a particularly fragile component, by adapting the recharge according to the use of the computer (history of its temperature) and the behavior during the recharge (read: To preserve the battery of MacBook Air and Pro, macOS 10.15.5 manages charging better).
When this option is activated, the message “No recharge” may appear in the menu bar; macOS is also likely to temporarily reduce the maximum load. This is normal, says Apple, is the way the battery health option works in order to optimize charging. The Mac will revert to 100% charge depending on usage.
The message may also appear when the computer is not getting enough juice to recharge the battery, for example when it is plugged into an insufficiently powerful adapter or with an unsuitable cable.
