 Very strange...

My #DeGoogled #Pixel 7, which has such heroic battery life, went from 61% battery to 45% battery overnight, even though it was on battery saver mode.
Usually pixels will only drop a handful of percentage points overnight while on battery saver.

My phone regularly gives me two days of battery life, unlike my old Pixel 4a 5G, which was usually down to 20% by the end of the day.

#PSA: Don't let your phone's battery get below 20% if you want to daily-drive it for a long time. 
 @fc501b69 i have found that sometimes, certain Fediverse apps destroy my battery life because they're actively polling, like, every 30 seconds or every minute. Sync for Lemmy for instance, I had to basically quarantine it b/c even with battery saver mode in 'Restricted' for the app, it still sits in the background, humming away. 😒 
 @fc501b69 Meh. The percentages shown by various devices is surprisingly arbitrary. What you really want to know is the cell voltage, but that’s not generally accessible. 80/20 is a good rule, but not much point being religious about it.
