Why is my widget draining my battery?

Stuck widget - battery impact

On several occasions, when my battery was discharging extremely fast, I noticed that my clock/weather widget was stuck and completely unresponsive, draining 38% of the battery resources. Has anybody had this issue and is there any remedy for it?

Sometimes you just have to clear cache for the app in question...or uninstall app and reinstall it if cache clear doesn't work. Hope it works.
