Never Weary now removes Energy decay, costs 10,000 Satisfaction Points.
Originally when The Sims 4 first came out on Windows, Never Weary removed the need to sleep (although it actually provided -100% Energy decay) making it the only Trait with a -100% decay, the other being Steel Bladder. Around December 2014 with the Careers update, Never Weary was changed to only have a -50% Energy decay thus making Energy decay again. However, the patch notes didn't mention the change leading to many Simmers initially mistaking it for a bug until it was confirmed that Never Weary has been nerfed.
However, the 1.40 update released in February 22, 2018 seems to have reversed this change as it mentioned about the trait providing full benefit now. Needs No One, Forever Fresh, and Forever Full have been added as improved versions of Independent, Antiseptic, and Hardly Hungry respectively. The old nerfed trait is still present in The Sims 4 renamed as Seldom Sleepy which still costs 4,000 Satisfaction Points with the buffed Never Weary as a trait costing 10,000 Satisfaction Points. Needs No One, Forever Fresh, and Forever Full cost 5,000, 8,000, and 10,000 Satisfaction Points respectively.

Edit: According to replies, Sims who had Never Weary prior to the 1.40 update will receive the updated effect (Never Weary will now stop Energy decay instead of slowing down Energy decay) when playing in 1.40. If you would rather have the Seldom Sleepy effect, you will need to remove the Never Weary trait and then either purchase the Seldom Sleepy trait or add in the trait though cheats to continue receiving the reduced Energy decay. However, cheats are required to remove the Never Weary trait.
It makes me wonder if the change of Never Weary and the introduction of the new traits was created for The Sims 4 Jungle Adventure since the traits would make the Sim useful in that Game Pack although they're expensive, or maybe these traits were created due to player feedback.
Currently, only the Windows and Mac version of The Sims 4 will have this change. The Sims 4 on PS4/Xbox One will still have the nerfed Never Weary trait and won't have the new traits until an update arrives to add them.
