Massive sudden power drain last night (11/2) around 11:30pm? Anyone else?

[Joe Schneider]

Happened to take a look at battery level around 9pm (Walking Dead, of course) and was sitting about 70%.

Wear Battery Meter confirms a rapid drop starting just after 11:30pm. Talking like 0% in a half-hour. I didn't notice it was dead until I went to bed around 2am and dropped it on the charger, noticing the zero-charge icon.

Some other folks on Reddit at r/moto360 have seen the same issue.

Anyone have any insight? Could this be related to the rumored 2.0 release?

I actually did have the same issue at around the same time. Strange.

Very odd.... Same thing happened to me. I know around 10pm I had 30+ percent battery life, and then somewhere around midnight when I went to put my watch on the charger, it was dead.

I actually waited a few minutes to make sure it would turn on.

I thought maybe it was because I used the watch more than usual during the day, including to navigate a 1hr trip driving for the first time.

When I saw it was dead at midnight, I figured maybe the battery was lower than I had remembered.

I doubt it has anything to do with 2.0. I think if Google were pushing something to our devices, we would have received some sort of notification. Still odd though.

Maybr it had something to do with changing the clocks earlier?

I think I got a similar issue.

Yesterday I got up early (3:30 AM), and got to the TCS NYC Marathon start area, patiently waited a bit more than 4 hours, then ran the marathon. During the marathon, I was running SportsTrackLive Pro on my Samsung Galaxy S4, with the Moto 360 on my wrist. I only glanced twice at the Moto during the race (I was using both a TomTom Runner watch and a Nike+ Sportsband as well, yes I know I'm a hopeless geek), but the watch battery was totally depleted upon arrival (slightly above 4 hours race time), which wasn't extraordinary given the usual battery consumption while jogging.

Back at the hotel, I recharged the Moto up to 92%, and then went to the airport for the flight back home. The flight left around 11:30PM from JFK, and at that time I had still plenty of battery on the Moto. I was expecting to be down to 30 or 40% this morning on arrival, after a 7 hours flight, but was surprised to see that the battery was at 3% only when waking up before landing, although I hadn't used the watch at all, nor moved much during my sleep.

So I too wonder why there was such a high battery draw last night. I could have understood if it was the previous night, with the DST switch, but last night, I'm clueless. FWIW I've made plane trips before with the Moto 360 without noticing any special battery draw before...

Do you happen to have a link to the above? I'm curious if anyone has gotten to the bottom of this.

Can't post links, unfortunately. I'll try this...

Can't say I have seen anything specific, just generally horrible battery life. One person fixed it by removing Google fit.

Moto 360 battery drain

That's my thread where I have been trying to track down the cause of my 10% drain.

No problem here.. Lasted 29 hrs and had 38% left this morning..

Same thing... I had about 60% at around 9pm. When I put it on the charger at 11:30, it was at 15%.

I don't know the number, but I did have a pretty large battery drop over a few hours as well.

I think it had something to do with the time change..... It had been fine before the 2nd, and has been fine since.

Well I flew in and out of a different time zone last week and saw now difference.

Mine seems better today after uninstalling moto connect
