Hello,

with the latest beta powerd is constantly consuming CPU.

From Console I see this message printed constantly:

Process powerd.67 Created UserIsActive "com.apple.powermanagement.wakeschedule" age:00:00:00 id:38654742480 [System: DeclUser IntPrevDisp IPushSrvc kDisp]

Any hints about how to solve the issue? My MacBook fans run like crazy all the time.

Thanks

FYI... I used this line in the Terminal to kill the process and it brought my CPU back down to normal:

sudo pmset schedule cancelall

I'll add a me too to the list. I had 3 entries:

wake at 04/11/2262 19:47:16 by 'com.apple.alarm.user-visible-com.apple.email.SendLaterDelivery' User visible: true

removing them resolved the CPU issue so far.
