Yes. mine was 4% over night with Bluetooth off. During the day it was very bad, with BT on. Tonight I'll go to bed @100% with BT on and see how it is. In the past, Blutooth was a major wakelock on this phone

Prior to the March update my battery was pretty good

For me it's still super good, using it often enough, start with 90, go to bed with 50-70% depending how much I used it (where with 50% it was a lot!)

I do have all the wiz disabled plus a load of google stuff.

I stumbled onto AccuBattery Pro and am glad it spells out discharge rate in percentages. Yaa... Camera is the most at 17%/H. Next is the Phone at 5.6%/H. Sitting near wi-fi most of the time, I suppose I cheat the phone's ugliness. And I just turn mobile data off with Better Internet Tiles. Now days I sit at home a lot and the cell towers are far away and crap. Damn. At work at the credit union, the cell tower was actually on the roof !

What? Did u voice type that? That makes no sense. What r u doing to get good battery life?

Idle drain here is about 0.6 %/h, satisfying enough for me. Nothing tinkered everything on stock. I just don't use AoD. WiFi and two SIM cards always active, no flight mode. Don't need Bluetooth hence off as well.
And of course no snake oil like Naptime.

Disabled everything I don't need. Use as little apps as needed. No gaming except Wordfeud ;}
Lots of Chrome use though, covers most of my needs.

Wiz?

The AI stuff that Google added. Switching most of that off saves quite a bit of juice.

Like what specifically?

 

[blackspp]

Adaptive battery off
Smooth display off
Live translate off
Digital assistant off
Covid notifications off
Disable all unneeded apps (ymmv)
Etc

Or leave all that stuff turned on and use Naptime... It's quite useful unlike most battery apps.

I always worry about Apps where the latest reviews are 3 years old

 

[kodabmx]

Agreed, but it works - even though the last release was 2 years ago...

May as well get a iPhone turning all the Google off lol

I just did a short test result of my P7P (running AncientOS) using Naptime+
Without it, i would have lost ~2% in the same time.
