Apple has released a new support article explaining a warning indicator that may appear on the MacBook Pro with Liquid Retina XDR Display or the Pro Display XDR when the screen becomes too hot, causing brightness to be reduced.
A caution icon in the menu bar or Display menu in Control Center on a 2021 MacBook Pro or an Apple Pro Display XDR indicates that the display is in low power mode and “uses restricted brightness,” according to Apple.

This can happen if the room’s ambient temperature is high and if light material has been playing for a prolonged length of time. For individuals who receive the warning, Apple provides many remedies, including reducing the temperature of the room and briefly putting a Mac to sleep to enable it to cool.
- Quit any programmes that may be taking substantial system resources on the MacBook Pro with Liquid Retina XDR display.
- Unless your present workflow needs a special reference mode, use the Apple XDR Display or Pro Display XDR reference mode.
- Reduce the room’s ambient temperature.
- Close or hide any windows that contain HDR material.
- To put your Mac to sleep, go to the Apple menu > Sleep. Allow your display to cool for 5-10 minutes before attempting to wake your Mac with any key on the keyboard.
According to Apple, consumers who experience this issue on a regular basis when the room temperature is less than 77 degrees Fahrenheit should contact Apple Support for assistance.
