When the device is in sleep mode it heats up a lot. Only after turning it on does it get cool. Is this normal?

Mac mini
I've finally figured out a solution: set "Start Screen Save when inactive" to "Never" !
I used to have the exact same problem as you can see from my previous post. This setting change has put my M4 mini into proper sleep mode with wired mouse light turned off during the sleep mode. Please note, DO NOT turn on "Prevent automatic sleeping when the display is off". Otherwise, it will prevent your Mac going into sleep mode.
It seems this is a software bug which causes the Macs not going into the sleep mode if screen saver is activated and dynamic screen saver clips use a lot of energy (I can feel the case warming up quite quickly when running this type of screen savers).
thank you for your response. I’ll take that under consideration. I appreciate it.

Don't you realise the exact same can be said about here?
Nope, these forums are actively moderated.
Then what’s the purpose for Apple to design this sleep function?

I could speculate but it’s against the rules, unfortunately. How about this for an answer: don’t know, don’t care and neither should you..have a nice day!
Turning off sleep made no difference for me
I do care about this sleep function. It’s a very important feature. Whether you care or not is not my business. Have a nice day!
I can’t put mine into sleep anyway it keeps waking up the monitor. I guess this is a blessing in disguise.
