MBP-M4 Sequoia can not sleep, wake up every few seconds

Just got my brand new MBP M4 running Sequoia 15.3.

My pmset settings as below:

Battery Power:
 Sleep On Power Button 1
 powermode            0
 standby              1
 ttyskeepawake        0
 hibernatemode        3
 powernap             0
 hibernatefile        /var/vm/sleepimage
 displaysleep         2
 womp                 0
 networkoversleep     0
 sleep                1
 lessbright           1
 tcpkeepalive         0
 disksleep            10
 SleepServices        0
AC Power:
 Sleep On Power Button 1
 powermode            0
 standby              1
 ttyskeepawake        1
 hibernatemode        3
 powernap             1
 hibernatefile        /var/vm/sleepimage
 displaysleep         10
 womp                 1
 networkoversleep     0
 sleep                1
 tcpkeepalive         1
 disksleep            0

And I just can not make it sleep. It keeps wake up every few seconds.

Refer to additional log for details.

The battery just drained even the machine is left there doing nothing.

I searched over the internet and found lots of similar issues reported over years, but nothing reported can fix the problem.

Can not believe this problem still exists after so many years ....

Is there anyway can fix the issue?

Thank you.

DarkWake from Deep Idle [CDN] : due to NUB.SPMI0Sw3IRQ nub-spmi0.0x02 rtc/

So let it run and catch up with background task and compare your results...

your example it appears it is accessing the CDN (Content Delivery Network)

Apple uses its Software Update service as a mechanism for installing “background and critical” updates that are installed silently in the background with no notifications to the user.

The current stable release of Sequoia including bug fixes, security updates is macOS 15.4

The rule of thumb—if you are near the mains leave it plugged in, if you need the portability then run on the battery only—this is how you help optimize your battery charging and extend the working life of your battery by reducing the cycle count.

Your 90 days of complimentary telephone support begins on the date of purchase.
