Moto Z play battery is draining from "phone idle"

[Klbg]

When I check my battery usage on my Moto Z play phone idle is listed at the top of the list using the battery. Why is that and is there anything I can I do to make it not use so much of my battery? It's effecting the time left on my battery.

How's your cell signal? If cell signal is poor, it might increase battery usage when the phone is idle (although this usually shows up as Cell Standby, not Phone Idle).
