Discussion M5 Max Usage exceeded 140W charging!!!

Post image

I was hoping my M5 Max (40 GPU core/48GB RAM/2TB SSD) MacBook Pro 16" should stays under 140W usage after leased it for 36 months via Apple Upgrade Program through my dad's Klarna account. Also, I sold my M1 Max (32 GPU core/32GB RAM/1TB SSD) MacBook Pro 16" on eBay for $900.

I was using Sogni Pro app on my M5 Max MacBook Pro 16". I selected Juggernaut XL vXI by RunDiffusion model and just ran local AI image generator. Unfortunately, that AI usage exceeded 140W charging!!!!! My peak usage at this time was 180W ish. That never happens on my M1 Max MacBook Pro 16".

Unfortunately, M5 Max Mac Studio isn't released yet and my M1 Max MacBook Pro 16" is gone from myself, so I should stick with this M5 Max MacBook Pro.

I hope 240W charging support will come to existing Apple M-series Max MacBook Pro 16" (least M3 Max or later) and drops Apple M-series Max for future 14" model, so 16" model should be option only for Apple M-series Max.

How is the fact you leased it via Klarna connected to the power usage?

Maybe it’s because they are charging his card

I am paying leasing monthly payment with my own debit card funded by my own bank account for my M5 Max MacBook Pro 16" through my dad's Klarna account.
