is this confirmed? because if so that's a serious con, not just because of battery draining, but being constantly on can't be good for the system. Unless it's in the same sort of sleep mode the Switch goes into normally. Not sure how RCM mode works.auto RCM is good except that turning the console off keeps it on still. It will drain overnight even though you think its off because the screen will look off but be in RCM mode.
No that's false.is this confirmed? because if so that's a serious con, not just because of battery draining, but being constantly on can't be good for the system. Unless it's in the same sort of sleep mode the Switch goes into normally. Not sure how RCM mode works.
Correct it works just the same as a normal system boot only difference is when turning on instead of loading system menu it reboots to RCMNo that's false.
The only point is that you can't know if your switch is on or off. So you'll drain your battery if the switch is on (rcm mode). But you can obviously power it off.
And when you plug your switch, power on, this is also a "problem".

In rcm mode do you stil need go reinstall the dongle after you completely switch it off then on againCheers thanks for clearing that up guys.
Yes you still need use the dingle each time you power on the Switch. Just keep the Switch in sleep mode and you are all set, no need for auto rcm or the dongle. Works great with SX os, no idea if it works with the other hacks.In rcm mode do you stil need go reinstall the dongle after you completely switch it off then on again

no need of jogs!!And go ...
If you’re going to use sleep mode all the time anyway, may as well just NOT install auto rcm..........if it were me.
I use hekate AutoRcm since day one and never had problems.Incorrect. When you power it off normally it restarts into RCM mode. I haven't tested extensively but the two times I powered off with AutoRCM installed it went from 100% to completly dead (unable to boot) in 18 hours. Maybe less than 18 hours as I didn't try powering on until I got home from work. Apparently some are saying that if you power off from the SX boot menu it will truly power off.

Not in my experience. If there are people who are not having this issue I'd like to know what is different with their systems. Firmware? Although I'm not sure why a different firmware would make a difference. I'm on FW 5.1.0

firmware means nothing the way autorcm works is it corrupts a part of your boot1 which causes the system to freak out and reboot to rcm when trying to boot Horizon which is the switch OSIncorrect.

I use hekate AutoRcm since day one and never had problems.
When I power off my switch, the switch is completely off. When I power off at 100% some days after, still 100%.
But when I plug my phone to boot, it turns on automatically into RCM and boot.

Just try :
I power off the switch with Horizon when the switch is plugged to my phone. NX loader send a payload when it detect a switch in RCM mode.
So, when I power off the switch, nothing happen. When I push power button, nx loader detect the switch.
So the switch was off.
And if I choose reboot option in Horizon, the switch reboot to RCM and NX loader detect it immediately.
Reminder : I use Hekate AutoRcm
