Is this battery life on my Pixel 2 normal?

I've been noticing recently that the Pixel Launcher is killing my battery. anybody else notice this?

Pixel Launcher usually uses a bit of battery on my phone, but nothing to the point where I'd say it's draining it abnormally. On my current charge I'm at 40% remaining, 5 hours of screen time - Pixel Launcher is showing at about 6% this cycle.

The 80-40 guideline is fairly standard -- Tesla recommends it for their big lithium battery packs as well. Following that guideline will prolong overall battery life, but from a real world standpoint, it detracts from the routine usage of the phone, since you'd only be able to use it for 40% of a battery charge. I don't have any qualms about charging up to 100%, but try not to let it drop much below 30% on a regular basis.

BatteryUniversity.com (from Cadex) is a good, heavily detailed resource.

I wish I knew someone with a Tesla

Hopefully he wouldn't be a d-bag.

So after a couple of weeks with my Pixel 2 one thing I'm noticing is that overnight if I don't charge I lose 8-10% in a 6-7 hour period. Less than 2% an hour I guess so not a huge deal, just kind of surprised it uses that much sitting on my nightstand.

Just reduce your overnight....sleeping is highly overated.

Well fortunately I have a toddler that helps with that.

What's the cell signal like where the phone sits? If it's mediocre, you could consider turning on Airplane Mode (and then turning wi-fi back on) before going to sleep.

Full bars, wifi and cell.

Any app or service in the battery stats that stands out?
