macos disable power cpu throttling I have a faulty battery in my Macbook Pro. Battery status is stuck at 2% and shows as &quot;no charging&quot;.
I believe this is causing my CPU to be throttled, pmset -g thermlog outputs this:
Note: No thermal warning level has been recorded
Note: No performance warning level has been recorded
CPU Power notify
    CPU_Scheduler_Limit     = 100
    CPU_Available_CPUs  = 8
    CPU_Speed_Limit     = 50

Since the battery is already dead, I just want to either disable the battery or disable the throttling feature.
Is there a way to do this via software? I know I can probably open the laptop and unplug the battery but want to first try a software alternative.
It makes sense that the machine will throttle if the battery is dead, because the charger is not capable of delivering on-demand high power throughput - that's the battery's job.
The fix is… a new battery.
I don't know whether this is technically bypassable, but if you do, then whenever high power is required, the mac will just hard-crash.
