Google + app taking up too much battery

[pantlesspenguin]

For some reason, occasionally I'll see Google + taking up 50% or more of what has been using the battery. I don't even use the Google + app, just the Messenger. Even then I don't use it *that* much. When I see it creeping up I'll force close the G+ app and battery usage returns to normal. Also, cell standby tends to use a lot, too. Any ideas on how to stabilize my battery usage?
