Your phone isn't going into deep sleep mode. Probably why you are experiencing a 2.7% an hour screen off battery drain on your phone.

I am averaging about 0.6% of battery loss per hour after the factory reset and my phone actually using deep sleep mode. Its probably better to start with factory settings and apps, then installing your personal apps and changing your preferred settings.
That's about what I've averaged percentage wise with deep sleep, from Android 6 when they started it up till now. But I've always set my phones up as new, and use pretty much no third party apps. My 3XL running 12 is using about 0.6% an hour when idle as well. I suspect poorly coded third party apps are what keeps the phone awake instead of going into deep sleep.
It's not that big of a deal if you have plenty of battery to spare, but if you're already struggling with battery life then you need every bit of help you can get![]()
I would definitely want my phone to sleep a little bit better. I tested it a few times and it's not as good as I would like. Although when I'm using it my battery is great and I'm getting a lot of SOT but overall deep sleep could be a little bit better and I think I have everything checked off where I need to but will test..I'm usually an overnight charger so just doing this for testing purposes.. further...//uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20211123/ec3885cf780622aea32ade2776ffe1d5.jpg
I thought I attached it ..here's the timesYou should select the "held awake" option on your GSAM Batter Monitor Pro app to see your deep sleep and doze times.
Battery is giving me 5-6 hours SOT. For the record, I like the Pixel 6 Pro a lot. However, for a 5000 capacity battery, the SOT with LTE enabled and a number of 'features' disabled, the phone appears to be constantly looking for a connection even when LTE and Wifi speeds are excellent. Have an open ticket with Google advanced tech, they want me to send them the phone. FORGET ABOUT IT. I asked them to describe for me the ... Issues... But they will not say anything. My gut feeling is Google hid from the public the weaker battery life and focused on marketing the performance of the new chip design. With a 5000 capacity battery, minimum 8-9 hours, SOT time with limited Mobile Network Standby and Idle battery drains should be their standard. Just like their advanced claims of 30w charging and hints of 5 years of OS Updates... Google... And in my words... Made claims they could not back up.
When you say it appears to be constantly looking for a connection, is that because Mobile Network Standby is using a lot of battery?
Just for kicks, keep wi-fi on all throughout the day, even if there's no wi-fi network nearby.
Go look on the Developer's forums and support Google forums. Read what others are saying similar to my experience. I'd like to see folks with nine hours SOT, running 5G without features disabled.
And I have also read that people are not having a problem with the battery.
However, been around long enough to understand that battery longevity has a lot to do with how a person uses their phone, where they use it and for how long they use it. So you answered my question; and I received an expected answer.
For me, if and when google gets around to sending the phone, I'll use it for a few weeks and see how my experience is (with not only battery, but also FPS and other items I have noted as being troublesome for some) and make my determination to retain or return and go into a S21 Ultra. If I had believe all the bad battery info on the 4XL, I would never have become a Pixel owner.
Another thing I have learned, more people will come to the internet, jump on a forum and complain about a product, sometimes finding a suggestion to fix but never return to say it work. While fewer will come will come to a forum and rave about a product. That just the nature of this beast called the internet.
