Very weird battery usage stats all of a sudden

I just had a look at my battery stats for today, and something aint right. As you can see, it shows that Android OS has been using 82% of the battery, while the screen comes in second at only 5%. This can't be right, can it? Usually the screen is the big battery user for me. Also, it's weird that there are no apps visible in the list - usually there are, and I've been using a lot of apps during the day, like Maps, Tinder, Line, Messenger, AirBnb, and so on.

I've never seen anything like this, have you? What could be the cause?

That could be Play updating a lot of apps, or some large app being updated.

BTW, drawing the battery down to 17% regularly will mean a large battery replacement bill. Lithium batteries are not deep-discharge devices - they should be charged when they drop to 40%-50%.
 
I should perhaps add that the screen (according to the battery stats) has been on for 4 and a half hours... I find it hard to believe that anything "normal" like updating apps or basically doing anything would cause 80% Android OS and 5% screen in 13 hours, with 4.5 hours screen on time... sounds more like a bug in the battery stats, but I could of course be wrong.

Normally I am used to seeing something like 30% screen, 10% Android OS, 5% Android system with the same kind of usage...
 
I got the same situation here. It seems only just recently that the Android OS consumes majority of the battery power. Usually, in my situation, it's the screen or on-line movies.
