How to enable hibernation on M1 Mac I am trying to enable Windows-like hibernation (powering off the device) on an M1 Mac mini. Current power mode configuration of any Mac can be displayed with pmset -g command, and this command's output does not include a hibernatemode entry. I try to enable hibernation with sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 25 where 25 indicates power-off hibernation. Unfortunately this doesn't power the device off because the power light is still on when I put the device to sleep. Curiously enough, running pmset -g again still does not include a hibernatemode entry.
Is hibernation removed in new M1 Macs or macOS Big Sur? If not, what is the correct way to enable it?
Hibernation on Mac m1 just released yesterday. Just update your mac to MacOS Big Sur 11.3 to enable hibernation.
