`sudo /usr/bin/cpuctl` can turn off cores, so for example you can turn off the performance cores.

Thank you for your suggestion, but I do not succeed with it.

I fail to take a CPU offline on my M1 mac: "cpuctl: processor_exit(i) failed"

Moreover, I can't discern the core type from the cpuctl list since all cpus are of the same "type".

I assume it is easier to activate the "power safe mode" then. Of course, the disadvantage of these approaches is that the whole system gets slower.
