PS4 Rest Mode is the worst - can I just disable it?

In that case:
- Hold PS button on controller
- Go to power option
- Select turn off PS4

Ya this is your dying HW OP.
Rest mode works perfectly fine for the rest of us.

Yeah rest mode is kinda borked on my PS4 as well. Sometimes when I use it, the PS4 will randomly turn on and eject the game disc or there have been other times when it would turn on automatically with no game disc inserted and it won't stop chirping.
Thankfully, I haven't had any problems for a while, as long as I always turn the PS4 completely off and never use rest mode. I got my PS4 refurbished from Amazon so I have warranty for it, but I know I'll have to replace it at some point.

I literally don't think I've used the power button on the console since first-time startup.

Why don't you think it's just your PS4?
One thing can break without everything else breaking

Just yank the wire out as hard as you can.
It should sync and upload save to cloud every time you purchase it is rest mode. This might be PS+ only feature however.

Yeah, I think we can close this. It's clear OP isn't actually reading the responses and just wanted to bitch about his broken PS4.
I swear there are some people on here that do this.

Put your fiinger on the power button and wait for the second bip.

there is no reason to use the power button - i personally have never used it.
hold PS button on controller -> Power -> Turn off PS4.
Yes, keep thinking that, I'm sure that will solve things for you.

It only does that if the PS4 loses power while in rest mode, so I'm assuming it's an issue with his power supply or an issue with power in his/her house

Yes rebuilding the database only happens after inproper shutdown.

Please imagine this scenario, OP.
You and ten friends all buy identical alarm clocks. You all go home and begin using your alarm clocks and don't convene on your experience for some time. But in that time, your alarm clock works perfectly. Particularly its much beloved alarm feature that wakes you up when you tell it to. It is the most popular clock on the market and is the standard for all rival clockmakers.
After a while, you and your ten friends meet up and one complains that the alarm clock manufacturer really fucked it up. Not only are the buttons broken, but its much touted alarm feature doesn't even work. They're constantly pressing buttons which don't respond and their alarm never goes off when they set it to. It doesn't even keep time correctly. Sometimes they can get it working for a little while, but the rest of the time the alarm doesn't work, the buttons do nothing, and the time is wrong.
Neither you nor anyone else you know has experienced this problem. But your friend insists it is the manufacturer and a problem with the implementation of one of its premiere features. You keep telling them that they have a faulty clock and their problems are unique, but they keep saying that's not the problem despite all evidence to the contrary.
What would you say to your friend?

You are correct. Patches for recently played games, saved games, all automatically downloaded.
But trophy information does not automatically sync on PS4... unless there was a change I missed in the latest firmware.
Years of troubleshooting lead me to wonder if there is an issue with intermittent power, possibly outside the PS4, the outlet, cat's bumping plugs, who knows? Or a PS4 issue that only shows itself in Power Save mode. Not inconceivable either.

Dude, it works for 99 percent of the people using a PS4. The other 1 percent have a broken PS4. It's not the feature, it's your console. I've had rest mode go wonky exactly one time in the hundreds of times I've used it.

As many have stated already, definitely sounds like something is wrong with your PS4. Never had issues using rest mode on mine.

This. You can also disable rest mode from even being an option in the menu I believe by messing with something in the system settings. I think I just have an option to turn it off. And I'm surprised by how many other people don't use their controllers to turn their console on/off or eject discs. I haven't touched the power or eject buttons on either my PS3 or PS4 unless my system locks up completely.
I will pay closer attention. That would be a weird oversight by them. Where is the suggestion box for adding features in the update.

You have two options here:
1st option: Continue to make threads regarding this issue and continue receiving responses that all seem to indicate that it's a problem isolated with you and other similarly defective ps4s
Or
2nd option: entertain the idea that your narrative is incorrect and that the flaw lies in a manufacturer defect and proceed to call Sony to get it swapped
It's quite simple really.

I have read the other posts in this thread but:
- what's the point in rebuilding the database when it does this like half the time I boot the thing up
- I know how to turn it off with the controller but this is iffy too
- it may be a hardware fault but it seems unlikely given how clearly it seems to be a software/firmware fault. It just seems like a very strange hardware fault no?
"I'm stood at my PS4 right next to the power button but it makes a lot more sense to walk over to my controller, press and hold a button and navigate through a menu than simply press the big off button that's right next to me."
They put the button there for a reason mane.

Apart from when it makes sense to use it?

Rest mode has worked fine on 2 different PS4s for me. I mean, when you turn it off via the menu you get the option for a full power off. Use that.
But it definitely sounds like your PS4 has something wrong with it.

Yep or MGS5 that I finally started this week lol...on those long mission,being stealthy and all where one mistake takes you back to start,it comes in handy...rest mode,I will pick it back up exactly where I was tomorrow...

I've always had issues with rest mode on my PS4, it barely works for me so I just stopped using it. 75% of the time it would just shut down altogether but require a database rebuild upon reboot, then shut down again, then reboot so I gave up.
But now when I simply ask my PS4 to turn off (with the actual power button) it invariably goes into rest mode when I don't even want it to. And not a-single-orange-LED rest mode but fan-constantly-whirring-clearly-using-a-pointless-amount-of-power rest mode.
It's a constant pain, it barely works when I want it to and often works when I don't. It's quite literally worse than useless to me.
Can I just disable it altogether somehow?
TLR: Sony fucked rest mode on PS4 and it's frankly embarrassing how broken it is. Please just let me turn it off entirely.
TL;DR: Your console is fucked and is not working as intending and you are blaming Sony.
