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!
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.
