With v4.8beta set to Low I'm getting 10-12 hours on battery, but never the 15 hours I was getting a couple of weeks ago. It's a trade off I shall live with.

Thanks for reminding me about the setting for CPU usage. If I set it to low and turn on Malware Protection, I get 35% usage. I'll see over the next couple of days whether that brings up the battery endurance.

I checked the beta updates option and installed 4.8. No change in CPU usage by the RT Protection Daemon, so I restarted the machine, and found it using 80-92%! If I stop Malware Protection it falls to <1% (although the battery menubar item still declares Malwarebytes Protection is using a high battery percentage).
So I'm leaving Malware Protection turned OFF, and hoping this can be fixed before too much of my subscription is wasted...

I came looking for answers on this issue. I have an MBA M1 and either after the upgrade to 11.2.2 or the quickly following 11.2.3, my battery endurance went down from 15 hours to 5. Activity Monitor shows the RT Protection Daemon using 50-65% CPU, and if I stop Malware Protection it goes down to 0.1%. When I was at 11.2.1 (and I think 11.2.2, with the change being noticed after 11.2.3) there was no such problem, and Malwarebytes was at v4.7 the whole time.
I'll try the beta and report back.
Compatibility with Apple M1?

4.9.6 installed on M1 MBA, 16Gb. RTProtection Daemon running between 2% and 20% of CPU. Battery at 100%, showing 10 hours 50 minutes remaining time. This is good!
