If GMail is not showing as the primary power consumer in your stats, you might want to post this as a new topic. The issue here is very specific to GMail and possibly Exchange services. If you open a new thread, your issue won't get lost in the noise here and the OP's issue won't get derailed into a grab-all power thread.

This is clearly Exchange Active Sync related. Changed my refresh interval to 30 minutes for my company email instead of push and check out battery life now...

(AdGuard is a local VPN ad blocker without root that works pretty good BTW)

I have three non-exchange accounts (Gmail, Yahoo & Roadrunner IMAP) set to 30 minute refresh and am still getting horrible battery drain. Gmail app still the runaway #1 battery draining app. Have tried various settings changes and reset GSam to track. Nothing abates the battery drain other than disabling all syncs.

Again, as I mentioned above, I had exact same problem with these three email accounts using Maildroid, with sync for the Gmail turned off. Problem started after the May security update.

It is for sure an Exchange Push sync issue. Started having problems again tonight. If you go into settings-accounts-exchange account, you can literally watch it continually syncing over and over. When I change push to a time interval is stops. Hope they come out with an update fix soon. This is so annoying.

I'm having the exact same problem on my Nexus 6. The problem started roughly the time this thread was published, and I responded by uninstalling gmail to confirm gmail was the culprit. After the unintall I installed google inbox, and have been using that to monitor ONLY my gmail account for the last week. Today I turned gmail back on, ONLY for my gmail account, and I'm again having the exact same problem.

This is definitely a problem with the GMail app version 6.5, and since I'm only using the GMail account currently I can't see how it has anything to do with Exchange.
