Lost 30% in 90 minutes. Screen on time was 34 minutes.
It seems like it's always a different app dominating the battery drainage. This time is was chrome.
Is this something that we are just going to have to get used to?

I had the issue and don't have Facebook or Messenger installed. My high usage apps were either Android System or Android OS. I can't remember which.
It behaved for a few days and then started draining pretty quick again the last few days but I'm not sure if it's me using it more. I do also have my LG Tone Plus Platinum headset and LG Watch Urbane 2nd Edition connected but I usually still get 1 1/2 - 2 days. Since Tuesday, I think, I've had to charge daily being very low when I get home from work around 2:30pm.
It's showing Android OS & System as being high along with 2hrs 30 mins screen time today so it could be me now but definitely wasn't around the 11th and 12th of Jan when we were all having issues because I purposely wasn't using it to try and make it last - it also wasn't Facebook related for me.
I'm now at 44% with 4 hours to 100 with a quick charge. 117°
And it has slowed down. I'm about to reboot

But charging has been a lot slower for me on my V20 after the Verizon update.

For the peeps who are having fb issues has anyone mentioned using a Facebook skin? I use one called Metal and according to Gsam battery monitor it uses 0.1% of my charge, I get all the notifications and it also has a Twitter skin too. It's great to know I can access Facebook and Twitter without being subjected to all their insidious battery draining experiments.

Yes, this was suggested - I actually suggested Metal. Someone else suggested Friendly, so I tried that out, and prefer it a lot over Metal. Both dramatically improved things, but the problem has now gone away. I'm back on the full FB client, and don't have this issue any more.
If you uninstall Facebook and reinstall it, do you lose all your friends and other personal information?
