It was working for a few months before today. Hoping someone here knows how to fix this issue.

What is your MacBook and macOS version? What was the last version that worked for you?

NickStrupat commented 2 years ago

MacBook is late 2013 (MacBookPro11,3) macOS version is 10.15.7 (19H1217)

I believe the last version to work for me was 1.4.

The error happened after I updated today to 1.4.1, but I'm not sure exactly if that was the cause.

I installed 1.4 again and I still get the error.

I wonder if it's a zsh issue. When I run sudo /Applications/Charge\ Limiter.app/Contents/Resources/smcutil -r BCLM I get illegal hardware instruction followed by the command text.

Could you please try this test build to see if it works? @MikeMaxNow If you don't mind, could you test this build to see if it works for you as well?

The new file work for me

NickStrupat commented 2 years ago

Works for me too.

I did some thinking and realized it's probably that the embedded smcutil was compiled on a newer Mac with some instruction set extensions that aren't on my 2013 CPU. When my machine tries to run the instructions it doesn't know, it yields an illegal hardware instruction error.

It is working for me!
