I’ve got a 2.9 GHz 6-Core Intel Core i9 Macbook Pro (yes, the one with the touchbar and the keyboard nobody likes)…

Anyway, it’s been working great, aside from this issue which seems to happen on occasion, when I don’t keep it plugged in overnight. It will just drain real fast sometimes.

What causes batteries to just drain over the course of an hour or so?

    It’s telling you right on screen. Battery service recommended.

    Means the battery’s shot. They don’t last forever.

    Google how to replace it yourself, see if you’re up for it. If not, find a service to do it. Doesn’t have to be (probably shouldn’t be) the Apple Store. You’re LOONG out of warranty.
