So I noticed excessive battery drain and couldn't figure it out. I rebooted the watch after charging to 95% and I was losing line 5% per day with no activities so it looks like the reboot worked. Then I ran yesterday for an hour using Spotify. That would normally use like 10% but I looked today and I've lost around 30% more battery.
v13.22 software - Fast Battery Drain Experienced. zettvier 7 months ago. Hello folks, With the upgrade to 13.22 my Fenix 7 Solar (Garmin Connect iOS) consumes 12% battery per day, after cold start. With 11.28 the watch needed 6-8% per day without sun and activities. It's a pity.
Disable the backlight entirely, or reduce it to absolute minimum brightness (5%). Make the timeout as short as possible – e.g. 4 seconds. The backlight causes quite a lot of battery drain. During the day everything will still be visible. Assuming you’re running through the night, you’ll have a headtorch to shine onto your watch.
Same with mi Fenix 5X plus ! About 0.3%-0.5% battery per hour , but after the activity with GPS, the consumption started to be about 1.3%-1.6% battery per hour. Same for both sw 11 and sw 11.73beta. It always helped to restart, but only to the next activity with GPS. Now I downgraded to sw 9.10, so hopefully it will be good. I will test and see
I would like to report a problem with my Garmin Fenix 6 Pro Solar. I have noticed that since one of the firmware updates (26.00), the battery consumption has increased considerably, going from having an autonomy of about 10-12 days to barely one day; I have calculated a discharge rate of 5% every hour.

Battery drain issues with v20 on Fenix 6x pro. formfaktor over 1 year ago. Not sure what happened, wifi off, no crazy watch faces, all sensors disconnected. All of a sudden crazy 3% an hour drains. Anyone else experience similar issues? I never had more than .3%/h drain. Now I get something nutty like 10 fold drains.. When did v20 just roll out?
1148530 6 months ago. Automatically updated to version 26.00 mid week, now experiencing significant battery drain 2% per hour. Soft reset three times, no improvement. Charged to 100% yesterday at 2pm EST and now at 56%, at 11 EST … and only did a 5km run. Before I could get 5-6 days per charger and that is with running 1 hour per day. Use a Stock Watch Face. A lot of CIQ WF’s can quickly drain the battery due to the info on the front. Even the stock faces can increase battery drain quite a lot if you choose the wrong settings. I use the stock digital face with only hours, minutes, weekday and date. This gives me a power drain of approx. 0.15%/hour.

Tristan Descamps September 3, 2023 | Version v2.9g. Completely overloads the watch (in my case Garmin fenix 5x) and causes a freeze. Even by just scrolling over to reach another widget.. Untill you manually delete the widget with the phone app you wont be able to fix this. Tried multiple ways of resolving this issue but nothing seems to work.

Yesterday I started my morning with 100% battery life, ran/hiked for 5 hours, and then normal everyday activity the remainder of the day. Battery was down to 21% when I went to bed. I hate to be a conspiracy theorist, but this issue starting in parallel with the release of the Fenix 7 has me scratching my head.
