Description
Since #464 was closed, there is a new option for obtaining power metrics on Apple Silicon chips that does not require sudo: https://github.com/vladkens/macmon by @vladkens.
I am not affiliated with the project, but found it after discovering that codecarbon currently requires sudo privileges on macOS for full functionality (as documented in the CPU section of the docs on power usage). This limits its use on managed computers, e.g. in a university setting.
macmon appears to be actively maintained and also has an MIT license, so a promising tool to build on. Hopefully someone will be able to look into this further.
