I noticed on my M2 Max MacBook Pro that the macOS Ventura 13.2.1 power manager was reporting the BetterTouchTool was using a "significant" amount of energy:
I checked Activity Monitor, and the Energy Impact spikes from near zero to over 4,500 (whatever those units are):
Is this considered normal? Seems odd to me.
I've attached the debug.

most of the time it's the experimental Dropbox sync, if you have enabled that try to disable it
It can also be caused by some scripts you have configured in BTT
Just saw this, sorry. I checked and Sync was enabled, but to iCloud. I have disabled it and will report back.
Last night my battery was wiped from 100% to 0% while asleep in an about six hours.
But the good news is, shortly after disabling sync, macOS stopped reporting it as an energy hog!
Overnight success! No more battery drain, thank you! Perhaps that experimental page should include a warning that this should NOT be used on laptops.

Hi, I am having the same issues and I stop using BTT for awhile because of this high consumption on battery.
Any other solutions to this? Thanks!
