Battery Drain After March Update

[hpilot]

All of a sudden my battery sucks. I used to drain 4% over night, now it drains 22%. It seems like Doze is not working anymore. Anyone else have this problem?

I haven't seen anything like that. Have you tried a cache clear in settings?

Do you mean clear "Cached data" under "internal shared storage"?

Yes. I always seem to not describe that clearly.

I haven't noticed much change in battery since that update, but it seems my Pixel XL takes a lot longer to boot up now. I shut it down every night and put it on the charger. When I turn it back on in the morning it takes a lot longer to fully activate and populate all my icons than it did before the March update.

OK, I just did that, so I'll watch it. It really seems like Doze just stopped working. Very depressed about this. The battery life was so great before...

Yes, I was noticing something similar as far as battery life. I'm outside​for work all day and never on WiFi. Before the update I would end the day with 4hrs on screen time and 25% left. Now it's been a week and checking every day the same result. Barely 3hrs on screen time and 30% left. All has been on Verizon LTE and no weak signal. I thought it was just me.

I cleared the cache and reboot. It worked! The battery life is back to normal. Thanks so much for your help...

No sweat. See you around the forums.

My battery still seems to have taken a hit since the update. I've lost a consistent 45min on screen time based on what I was getting before. Same routine and same locations. All on Verizon LTE. Unless the update affected my signal strength, I cannot see what else would cause this. No new apps

I too have seen a slow decline in battery life within the past couple of weeks. I'm on at&t. Hopefully April update will help

My battery life has steadily declined the last week or so, recent beta update has made it way worse

Well if you're on beta that is almost expected (or well to be expected) since the software can have issues versus the stable.

Well if battery usage is this horrible I am out lol. I would have Never figured it would be this bad
