Could be a task is still running in the background that prevents your Macbook from going to sleep. You can find it in the activity monitor and force-close it.
But also, as others have noted already, your battery needs service.

Low Power Mode: Never
That’s not recommended.
Battery Service Recommended
That’s why. The cells are worn out and they can’t hold a change anymore.

And good luck. It’s one of the hardest Macbooks to fix.
Jesus H Christ on a cracker. I got halfway through this and it starts talking about removing the fucking trackpad and microphone and I’m like, oh, this must be a full breakdown… nope! You have to literally take the whole thing apart to free the battery. Fucking Apple. They make great shit, but they just want you to buy a new one.

If your computer is less than five years old, Apple will replace the battery for around $100 at any Apple store.
2024-2018=6 years booo
Might be worth calling to see if they’d still do it. I believe it’s subject to service part availability after the five year mark.
It’s telling you right on screen. Battery service recommended.
Means the battery’s shot. They don’t last forever.
Google how to replace it yourself, see if you’re up for it. If not, find a service to do it. Doesn’t have to be (probably shouldn’t be) the Apple Store. You’re LOONG out of warranty.
As everyone else says, battery replacement time.
The freemium and excellent little macOS utility Coconut Battery gives details that will confirm why you need a replacement.
Thanks!
I repair macs and just hate the battery job on your model. It would be reasonable to have Apple do it. It’s expensive, but it's a better quality battery than the third party stuff you get by DiY or going to an independent shop.
That said, it may be messy and time consuming, but you can buy the battery off of amazon and use iFixit to guide you, and save $150.
They took the touchbar and put it on the iPhone
