Why is an android process draining my battey?

[Android Central Question]

My battery has suddenly started draining very fast, when I check the battery status it shows android 10230 is using the most, it ate up 21% of my battery in a few hours. What is this and how do I stop it? There is no option to disable or uninstall.

Welcome to Android Central! That kind of listing usually represents something that you recently uninstalled. Is the percentage going up, or gradually down? Try rebooting and seeing how the battery is for the next 24 hrs.

And that's 21% of the total amount of battery used, not 21% of the total battery capacity, so if the battery is at 90%, that 21% represents 21% of the 10% used, or about 2% of total battery capacity.

They did change those percentages to represent absolute usage, not relative, starting with Marshmallow (I think).
