Android system drain

[amirage]

Hi all,

Everything was going fine and dandy until the past two days. I'm facing Android system drain which is the second highest draining app after the screen. I tried wiping cache and even removed background refresh on all non-essential except for google play services. The phone isn't rooted yet..can someone please help me on how to get rid of this drain!

Interesting! I have a not rooted Xiaomi Mi 9T and face exactly the same problem. The drain appeared out of the blue and I can fix it for some time by rebooting the phone.
It wouldn't surprise me if some automatically updated Google Service might be the culprit because this is the most common denominator for our phones. If this should actually be true it look we just have to wait for another update...
Cheers Helmuth

I suspect it's the ever rogue google play services...why do they keep making this app from bad to worse!? Every iteration is nothing but a headache!
