Any idea why Text Blaze would consume so much power? It is the 2nd highest consumer of power on my Mac, higher than my browser, higher that Spotify which runs almost all the time!
Hi @Mark_Watkins Welcome to the forum! 
Can you share the graph/table of the power consumption that you are looking at? This will help me better understand your situation.
Also, has this always been like this or did the power consumption increase recently?
Hi @Gaurang_Tandon, thanks for the quick reply.
Attaching the Activity Monitor table for power consumption. The 12-hour Power column is what caught my eye.
I have an M4 MacBook Air that is a month or so old, and the battery life was not meeting my expectations, so I went looking to see what was going on. I do not know if this is new or if it's always been this way. I don't know for a fact that TextBlaze is the issue but was surprised to see it #2 in the power consumption table, higher than other processes, some which are compute intensive.
Thanks for sharing the screenshot @Mark_Watkins . This is how it looks on my end (roughly the correct order/magnitude based on my usage):
Note that - although it shouldn't matter - my Text Blaze app keeps running in the background with its windows closed.
I will keep checking my own Activity Monitor over the next day or two, to see if the values remain consistent or if they deviate. I request you to do the same.
Also, I don't know if it makes a difference, but I restarted my MacBook 12 hours ago. Could you check when you last restarted?
that is more like what I expected, very low compared to heavier weight processes.
My computer has been up for 2 months So I will restart it and see if things change after a few days.
Thanks!

The items are still in the same place for me:
I am curious how the data points are for you since you last restarted your Macbook.
It is still the same, unfortunately. It was low/calm for a short period of time, but it's back to being the #1 12 hr Power consumer. The "Energy Impact" is pretty low compared to other items...I am not sure why one would be high and the other low, one would thing they would be correlated...
Thanks for informing me. Did you get a chance to restart your Macbook?
yes, that is what I mean, it is the same after restarting my macbook
