For the unaware, the AirPods Max has no power button, and can't be turned off manually. Instead, it enters depression ability mode when either left untouched for five minutes or docked in the bundled Smart Instance.

At that place's an even more than frugal "ultra-low power" mode that kicks in one time the AirPods Max has been left in the case for 18 hours, simply even the standard power-saving mode should only crusade the headphones to lose a few percentage of battery power over several hours.

However, at present in that location are numerous user reports of the AirPods Max bombardment emptying overnight, or otherwise draining much faster than low power fashion should allow. While this is a seemingly a mere bug that's affecting a relatively modest number of owners, it's a deeply unfortunate fault given that the AirPods Max have already addled some users. It took an updated Apple support page just to explain the dissimilar bombardment-saving modes, and missing power button, when the headphones launched terminal year.

MacRumors user Broken Hope suggests that the excessive drain issue may exist caused by the AirPods Max not properly disconnecting from source devices when entering low power way, citing his Mac still list the headphones equally available when stowed away. Hopefully this means the problem is a software bug and can be fixed via update, rather than a permanent hardware issue.
