Serious battery issue...please help

[palanilopez12]

Battery went from 83 percent to 61 in a 6 and a half hour period while I was sleeping with no usage and I'm not showing any real difference in the phone being held awake. Please help!

Looks like your screen is taking up some of the battery percentage. Is your screen on auto-brightness?

It's on auto brightness. When going to sleep the phone used to drain, at the most, 5 percent overnight. But recently it's been over 20 percent through the night and that just isn't normal.

I'm wondering if it has anything to do with the fact that a few weeks ago I was in Paris and was roaming internationally. I never had any problems until then.

How long have you had the phone?

Can you show us the cell signal strength during a battery drainage episode? If the signal isn't strong, that can eat up battery.

disable bixby.

disable bixby.

Bixby uses almost no battery.

do you use the facebook app? I used to have this problem where my phone would randomly drain 40%+ overnight. I disabled the facebook app and it hasn't happened once since.
