I've had the G6 since launch and haven't been thrilled with the battery, either SoT or standby time. I rarely could get more than 3.5 hours of SoT and standby was just not good. I figured it had to be one of my apps(a side note- same apps on my other phones - no issues). So I did a full data reset, factory default and set up as a new phone(which I always do).
As a test, I fully charged it, took it off the charger at night with AOD on, to see what the overnight drain would be. With other phones I have had, it varies from .5-2% per hour drain.
I woke up the first morning and had 81% left. Ouch. I hadn't even installed all my apps yet.
I tried it a second night and it was the same. If you look at the pic, it was in deep doze mode!Capture+_2017-05-26-08-29-48.jpgCapture+_2017-05-26-08-29-19.jpg
So off to ATT I went and getting a replacement sent.
I keep seeing people with great battery life, I figured something was wrong. I will report back once I get my replacement.Capture+_2017-05-26-08-28-42.jpg
 
Something held your phone awake overnight for over 2.5 hours even though the screen was off. That is what's causing the drain. I would clock on "app usage" in gsam to see if you can figure out what the bulk of that 83% is made up of.
