battery on macOS 14 Sonoma
NotNotch’s deployment target is macOS 14, so battery is built to run on Sonoma and later. Battery can appear as a short HUD rather than a permanent live activity.

Why Sonoma is the floor
The SwiftUI notch host and several system APIs assume macOS 14. battery follows that floor.
Later systems
The same battery path is intended to keep working through macOS 27 without bumping the minimum.
