Seeing reports now that the battery is not as good now as it was in the first betas, and of course get some saying the battery needs to settle in. The battery didn't need to settle in on the first few betas, now it does.
This is my conspiracy thinking going off. The S8 is about to drop, just as the new software is suppose to drop for the older phones. The battery seems to take a hit on all the OS updates just around the time new phones are released. You see where I'm going with this??. Person gets tired of dealing with bad battery life, they want to get a new phone since the last update screwed up my old phone. Maybe the updates are intended to ruin battery life, can't sell new phones as fast if they keep working perfect. This happens on so many updates and they seem to be close to the release of the new version phone.
I was excited for the update on the reports of the battery being better in the beta, but now with the latest beta battery reports are all of a sudden bad.. Makes me think, to convenient. I think i will just keep blocking the update now.
