Do Storage Studio's self-health checks use much battery?
Short answer: No. Self-health checks are lightweight: every 5 minutes while you use the app, every 30 minutes when it's hidden, paused during sleep. They run on your Mac only and have no measurable battery impact.
No. The self-healing checks are lightweight and have no measurable battery or thermal impact. They run every 5 minutes while you're actively using Storage Studio, every 30 minutes when the app is hidden, pause entirely during system sleep, and run once on wake.
They run entirely on your Mac and don't send anything over the network. Successful repairs happen silently; the Self-healing monitor row in Settings → Services shows the latest check time and result.
