AC Question

So I just updated my Galaxy S6 and the battery life is terrible. It's be draining about 10% every hour on standby. It was full charged at 1pm and at 5pm it's at 55% and I only used it once to send a text message. I don't have any battery draining apps and sync is turned off. In battery says I'm at 55% I have abou 5 hours left. When I scrolled down it says android system has used 20% battery, cell standby is at 7%, android OS at 6%, and screen at 5%. I have only wifi and mobile data turned on. I was reading around and saw someone with this issue (they had a rooted phone, mine isn't) but the comments said to download 3C CPU manager to see if they have a deep sleep issue. It said my up-time was 4 hours and only 2 minutes of sleep thinking maybe my CPU doesn't "go to sleep" when I turn the screen off. I was hoping to just wait till marshmallow comes out to Samsung devices but I read it might be till early next year. I also ran my Verizon tune up and it said my battery and speed was fine. Is there anything I can try to do to solve this, I really don't want to have to factory reset my phone.
 
Welcome. :)

The first thing to try is a Cache Partition wipe, good practice after a system update.
That may fix it, but if not, get back to us right here.
