Question battery drain

My battery is now at the stage of adaptation, but during the installation of all applications, I spent 3 hours on the phone and I lost 35% of the battery where the phone was heavily loaded. Today I disconnected the phone from the charger at 7 am, it is used non-stop, SOT 2h lost 24% of the battery.
On my P5 I was at 0.4 - 0.6 % / hr overnight. On the P6 it's currently 0.8 / hr. pretty steadily. I'm thinking some tweaking by Google will bring it down a bit. But overall it's not bad, imo. But know that the phone is really not asleep unless you turn it off. Take a look at the syncing in the background with Better Battery Stats https://xdaforums.com/t/app-2-2-05-oct-v2-4-betterbatterystats.1179809/ I pretty much look at it when I wake up and notice if there is an unusual amount of activity on a particular app and then either tweak it, disable background use or delete it if it's not totally useful. My fitness tracker probably uses .2% of the overnight drain but I use it all the time so I'm pretty much stuck with that. There's a lot going on while the phone is "asleep" so maybe you can narrow it down some.
Def needs some improvement. I had the same as you on my 3a XL. And that had a smaller battery than the P6. So a higher %/hr means a much greater mAH being consumed by the P6 in 'over night' mode. I have my installed apps and settings set the same way on my P6 as they were on my 3a XL. And there's no 5G in my area either. The P6 should be doing no more over night than my 3a XL was so, with the P6's bigger battery, the % drop per hour should be lower. Maybe the Tensor etc are just less efficient, currently?
It's been said, and from what I've read, is that their new chip isn't really efficient at all. I'm sure over time things will get better, but for now it's not the best thing.
Do you have any screenshots of usage, and what's causing battery drain?
Here is a screenshot, the battery drops very quickly, from 7 am I already have 60%, I do not have 2h SOT
How's your cell signal? Looks like mobile network is active in the background for over an hour which might be an issue. Try installing Gsam battery monitor. You can see which apps or if your cell signal is eating up your battery and then close specific apps so they stop.

none of the applications that I have on the previous Pixel 5 caused battery drain ... I don't have unnecessary applications, I need and use everythingHow's your cell signal?

All it really is, is the modem itself. It's a battery hog which is why folks have horrid battery life and unnecessary mobile network standby. Unless a SW update can magically fix that we'd have to wait for a new phone next year.
unfortunately, it has dropped 6% since writing the previous post and I haven't touched my phone
It looks like the +888 and 898 snapdragon do not have this problem (see Mi mix 4 or the new Vivo). I will wait for the update and if nothing works, January / February will be a new oneplus ...
My bet is the modem firmware has some bug where it's not negotiating optimally with the cell towers - hopefully an update fixes it. Some folk on Reddit are saying the mid-Nov update (only available in the US and Japan until Dec) fixes it, but I think it's maybe a little too early to tell...
@jawamdame Try force closing Yanosik app. I had a pretty bad battery drain due to location services being used many times in an hour because of this app.
Right now I have automated a Tasker force close Yanosik script for this particular reason.

What numbers are you getting now? I'd like to not lose 1-2% an hour when the phone is asleep and not in use. I'm also annoyed with mobile network standby being in use all the time, despite never having an issue with it on my prior phone and even work phone, both pixels.1
