    I don't remember if once upon a time my macbook used to go to sleep/hibernate when the battery was very low (say, below 3%) but right now, the only thing that happens is my battery goes to 0% and then the laptop suddenly gets turned off.

    Anyways to fix this issue?

    It should do... Try resetting the SMC and PRAM.
