    Time of Day Energy Use and Xbox


    Hello everyone,

    Kind of a mix between discussion and question here...appreciate any thoughts or suggestions you may have.

    At my house, I do time of day pricing for my energy use. For those that are not familiar with that, it means that during peak energy use time (usually during daytime hours) the cost of electricity use is higher than average and off-peak hours (usually evening
    and overnight) the cost is lower than normal. Plugged my Xbox One X into a smart socket to gauge energy use in the always on mode and it still used quite a bit which makes me weary about having it in that power mode all the time due to the higher cost of energy
    during the day that I pay so I have it in energy saver mode. While I love the always on, instant start up, financially it makes more sense for me to not use it and deal with the slower start up, delayed updates, etc.

    Anyway, my question for the community is if anyone else does time of day energy usage and if you have found a way to use always on mode on the Xbox to not drain away money during peak hours. Or if anyone that doesn't do this has any ideas.

    I personally would love it if Xbox added a scheduling feature for the always on mode into the settings so I can have it go into that overnight but not during the day. That way I can have games update overnight without the extra cost of running it during
    the day or the time it takes later, especially for the very large updates of games nowadays. (If anyone from Xbox is reading this, please pass along to the development team for consideration Time of Day Energy Use and Xbox :D )

    Thanks everyone! Appreciate any input you may have.

    :)

    I Hate To Ask This Yet Again...

    what is the point in upgrading this site, hardly anybody uses it these days, not worth the time/money/energy doing anything with it.

    Pointless since no real support but can't access my Xbox Series X or S since 24hrs and nothing works

    Honestly just going to leave it for a few days see what happens already wasted enough time and energy on it.

    You must have an active network connection to play xbox live matches

    Just plugged in my old Xbox one, as I read up on the energy-saving mode issue.

    Set my console to energy-saving mode. Reset it. Booted it up, had an Open NAT for the first time since launch day. However, I still got disconnected from Xbox Live, whilst playing an online game (CoD Ghosts). So my issue remains.

    If the energy font out from Xbox is the same , The font energy receve 220v by energy source and send in DC for your Console, but Try use voltage regulator into the Energy source and your Font to be more save for your Console

    Hey ! Are you using Instant-On or Energy-Saver mode? Post back and let me know!
    I did have it on instant but I changed it to energy saving a few days ago and it still does it.

    And thank you for responding. I appreciate it.
