<< Solved >> Process "com.apple.parsec-fbf.flush" on Catalina 10.15.2 prevents system from sleeping automatically.

Hello friends! I have the same problem and make new temporary resolution, thats works good. This is it:

First you should install Brew - https://brew.sh/
Then you should install Python 3 - $ brew install python3
Then you should install psutil module - $ brew pip3 install psutil
Then you should download my script from attachment, open Terminal and put - $ python3 /path/to/script/parseckiller.py

Now you have a cool guy in your Mac, who can detect parsec-fbf and kick it off automatically

Enjoy!

specifically in your case, you should try replacing 'parsec-fbf' with 'parsec-fbf.flush' in line 13 of the code

If you already have Siri disabled and do not intend to use it, why not just

launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchAgents/com.apple.parsec-fbf.plist

I don't have any sleep problems with Catalina 10.15.2. 10.15.2 has been rock solid.

I have Siri and Messages enabled and working. I also have SIP enabled.

This is on my Z370 system. Specs:
Asus Z370-G Gaming (Wi-Fi AC)
i9-9900K@5GHz
64GB 3400MHz RAM
Samsung 970 EVO 1TB NVMe SSD
HP EX920 1TB NVMe SSD
Apple BCM94360CS2 on M.2 adaptor connected to motherboard.

I am sure the problem is due to the process for siri suggestion, but it seems also to relate to the specific config on the Hackintosh, like bluetooth, siri... The true reason that makes that happen is not clear for now.

EDIT: On Catalina 10.15.1 and below, everything would be fine.

I have Siri enabled.

I just asked Siri, how many home runs did Aaron Judge hit...

I have Siri enabled.

I tried to enable Siri and turn on Siri & Dictation in the System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Privacy > Location Services, but no luck here.

Anyway, the easiest way is following suggestion from @hackmymac to disable "com.apple.parsec-fbf.flush" launching automatically if you don't need the Siri.
