Hi.

I had my phone stolen in Paris so now it's back to the Moto X for the foreseeable future. It had stock KK on it but most apps do not work on that version. I officially updated via OTA today to LP and all my apps that I needed are working fine, but the problem is the cell standby battery drain.

Was there ever a workaround?

I fixed it.

Don't update all the motorola bloatware after a factory reset (spotlight stories, moto connect etc) then the battery drain goes away. If you update these apps after a reset then the battery drain is unreal.

I've been using the phone now for 4 months with stock 5.1 and its perfectly functional and gets me through a day with light use.

I have installed Lineage 13 as stock 5.1 was just getting too hot for no reason and storage was a joke with all the moto bloatware. So on reflection I would not recommend stock 5.1 if you can flash and root.
