I think one could argue that people are going the way of the longer battery life, and then you look at the fact that no manufacturer has made (or seems like they plan to make) another MAXX. Kind of odd, I reckon.
I know, seems like slimmer is more important and all the new slick phones aren't even battery replaceable. all the phones were probably in the works years ago and its just gonna take a year or two to catch up.
Love ICS. Hate the battery life even with an extended battery.....and having to put airplane mode on and off to receive data connection. No apps checking for updates and screen on low as it will go still makes my battery be at 50% after 3-4 hours of minimal use.
Looking to sell or trade for a Razr Maxx!

With the extended battery I'm down to maybe 2 or 3 hours. I go out to dinner with a fully charged battery and have maybe 50 percent left by the time I get back home. it seems like it used to be better than this, and now I feel basically tethered to a wall outlet.

ThunderBolt with how big of an extended battery? I could only get 2-3 hours of use with my ThunderBolt on 3G, and 4G was even worse. I could easily get twice that on my iPhone 4. One of the main reasons I upgraded to the Galaxy Nexus was for better battery life, but honestly it isn't much of an improvement over the ThunderBolt.
I think Android manufactures are beginning to realize that those of us with iPhones get 5-7 hours of on screen time and don't have to be plugged in more that once a day on a heavy day. 2-3 hours of on screen time is not enough for what the device can do, and are supposed to.
Leaving the day before a OS update... Your timing is impeccable.

To the OP, you have a rogue app causeing your issue... maybe not even an app but rather a service. If you downloaded and installed some sketchy apps from the market, they could have left dingleberries behind. I would try a factory reset (I know if you call VZW, they would recommend the same). Anyways, I know you probably are not going to listen to anyone's recommendations, so enjoy your Gingerbread MAXX.
