Huge battery drain

[AkCullen]

I bought the mi A1 about 8 months ago and it was working fine up until 3 weeks ago.

The battery has started to drain big time and the Android is consuming most of the power.

I've tried the below already,*

1. Calibrating my battery.
2. Factory reset to January update.
3. Stopping the apps running in the background.
4. Turning off location / wifi and internet.
5. Tried disabling backup of photos.
6. Disabled app preview messages under Google.

Despite doing all this the battery drains big time, even when it's idle when I'm sleeping.

P.s - I'm unable to upload screenshot because it keeps saying that there's a network issue. But the screenshot stats say that the android os consumes most of the battery and SoT was 30 minutes. Phone was idle for most of the time. It came down 100-20% in a few hours.
Android OS is eating away most of the battery.

First thing, clear the cache, you can use explorer to do it, hit clean at the bottom.
Check running apps (settings > developer > running services) and see what is running and using battery.
It might be the media scanner, they use loads of battery when they get stuck on a corrupt file, you could take out the sd card if you have it formatted as external.

Thank you for your response.
I've cleared cache using the Files Go app.
I checked the services running in the background and I've all the cached process but they seem to be regenerating.
Apps consuming RAM are - Settings, Messenger, callenhancement, SimContacts,com.qualcomm.qcrilmsgtunnel, carrier services, google play services, spock, swiftkey and the launcher.

All these get regenerated even if I kill them.

Do any of the following cause battery drain? If yes, how do I fix them?

I've already done a factory reset but the problem still persists.

Apps will start and run in the background, that is normal in android, the only way you can reduce that is to reduce the background apps in developer options.
I think you should instal better battery stats which should help you work out exactly what is draining the battery.

Is you phone stock, have you rooted, used any custom roms or modded it?

My phone is stock, I have not rooted nor have I installed any custom ROM.
I have installed better battery stats in my phone.

OK, without root you might be better with Gsam battery monitor but see how you go.

Gsam monitor detected 96% of battery to have been used by android OS.
