Hi @minorthird,

Unfortunately, OCLP is not officially supported and AlDente might not work properly or at all in some MacBook/macOS configurations.

Best, Matthias

Ok, this bug seems specific to MBP 11,4—MBP 11,2 runs AlDente fine.

Hi @minorthird,

The general problem seems to be that OCLP tricks AlDente into thinking that it is running on a different MacBook model than it does. Therefore, AlDente is using the wrong technical pathways to control the charging behavior. Unfortunately, there is no easy fix for this issue and we are currently focusing on different improvements and features.

Best, Matthias
