macOS (Tahoe) Beta 26.0 — Overheating & Rapid Battery Drain on MacBook Pro M3

Hi everyone,

After installing the macOS beta (Tahoe 26.0) on my MacBook Pro M3, I’ve noticed two issues:

Significant increase in system temperature

The laptop feels hot even with light usage like Safari and Figma

Rapid battery drain

Battery is dropping unusually fast compared to macOS Sonoma.

I’ve tried, Restarting the device.

I’m aware this is a beta, but just wondering.

Is anyone else experiencing this?

Is this a known issue?

Would love to hear if others are facing similar problems or if it might be something specific to my setup.

Thanks in advance!
