My battery life on Nougat was very solid, on every full charge I get 6-7 hours of SOT. Now, I'm getting less than half of that (about 3 hours). Is it just me or are u guys having the problem?
Yeah, and this is the first time my pixel have continuous lags, it's annoying

I upgraded mine on Tuesday morning by joining the beta, installing the update, then leaving the beta. I performed a FDR on Tuesday evening. My battery life was abysmal, barely getting 16-18 hours of light use. Here's the thread I started

Last evening, there were a number of updates to my apps
Google Fit
VLC
Google App
Chrome
FB Messenger
FB

I noticed almost immediately that my battery wasn't draining as fast - it lost about 2% in an hour instead of the previous 5-8%.

Went to bed last night - woke up this morning, 8 hours later, and my battery had dropped a TOTAL of 4% overnight. I plugged it in when I arrived at work to top it up, then took it off the charger an hour ago. Right now it's still at 100%.

When I started seeing this, I reported it to Google through the feedback. That was Wednesday. Today my Pixel XL is a whole new phone.

YMMV

It's kinda weird, I mean Google has been always known by stable softwares, and this is meant to be the final 'stable' version 🤔
I suggest that all of us send feedbacks to Google about that

Update: I've updated all my apps and drained my battery, then I recharged it, now I'm getting the same numbers as before which is reassuring. It seems like updating apps is essential to support Oreo

I am by no means a heavy user, but also a couple of days ago at this time I'd be down to about 40%. Not anymore. I am happy again.

it takes about 2 days after an update to get the battery to normal phase. dont know if its just pixel or android in general. I have seen countless thread about battery bad after update and getting better after 2 days

I have been through many OS updates and it always takes a day or two to settle down. Mine is not better than before Oreo.

Waiting a few days or not this is pretty unacceptable IMO. The stats blame theScore app but I have used it for years and changed zero settings since updating to Oreo. I had been enjoying stupendous battery life on 7.1 so I may factory reset and see if it helps

I did find in Developers Options that Mobile Data Always On was turned on after the update. I turned it off and the numbers jumped up. Plus the phone lasted longer than the 5 hours predicted in my screenshot. So fingers crossed your two day prediction is working for me as well. We'll see in the morning.

Mine seems to be ok. I did the full install and wipe. I also have not seen any or the Bluetooth issues being talked about.

I don't really have any complaints with my Verizon Pixel on Oreo.

I agree. XL on VZW and I unplugged my phone at 3 am at 100%, woke up at 730 and it was about the same until I asked google assistant for the weather, used bluetooth in my car with google play. There was some chrome use and audible and im at 90% writing this. I use my phone all day for audible or google play, tiwtter and google feed and ill probably leave work at 5 or 6 with 60-70%. No location services on or wifi or BT. Ill tell you guys this much, this battery life puts most other android phones to shame.

My Pixel is fine. I don't have Bluetooth running except when I specifically need it. My 1998 Nissan pickup truck doesn't have Bluetooth. I normally power off my phone when I go to bed but last night I forgot. The battery was in the mid-sixties. When I got up this morning, after sleeping for six hours, it was 63%.
