Rest mode on the PS4 is a great mode that allows you to place your PS4 Pro or even PS4 is a low power mode in which you can still charge your Controllers and access your system quickly next time you need it. The thing is though if you press the power button you go straight into rest mode and the option is the first thing that’s shown on the power menu.
