Since version 4.76, battery usage of garmin connect seems awfully high.

Garmin connect is by far the most energy comsumption app on my iPhone. It's almost 6 hours active in the background for 3 minutes screen time.

My second most active app is signal, with 4 minutes screen time and 13 minutes background activity.

I hardly use garmin connect. I only keep it open for notifications and weather updates.

For this reason I close the app in the background. It drains my battery as well, but since I have the watch (last January), so not since the 4.76.

For notifications you don’t need to run the app in the background. I get all my notifications with the app closed. Only for the weather data you need it. But for me the weather is really off (for example when it’s 11c my watch says it’s 3c or 6c), so I saw no need to keep the app open for that purpose.
