Android 13 - Battery drain

[jgandroid]

I'm still getting horrible battery life now. Seems like it might be a bit better after the udpate but still can't get past 7pm with 3hrs of SOT. Before Android 13, coudl easily get 16hrs 4-5hr SOT with 20-25% left a bed time. So dissapointed in Google. I don't think I can keep this phone and this might be the final straw to push me to the dark side.

I haven't noticed any improvement in my battery either since this last update. It's still draining pretty fast.

Not bad, really.

My pixel 6 had very poor battery life. Chrome is using on average between 8-10 % !

***UPDATE*** I performed a factory reset and that appears to have resolved the issue. I'm back to getting the same battery life before the update to A13 which is a very good thing. Usually finish my 16hr day with 4hrs SOT and 25-30% battery left.

Factory resets for me a serious pain since I need to enter multiple tickets with my corp IT team to get my access back but it did work.
