Battery lifetime AOD mode AMOLED

Hi,
I've found that battery life doesn't change much when there are no pixels on or 10% of the pixels are on in AOD mode. This means that as soon as AOD is switched on, the battery life drops from 10 to 3 days even if there are no pixels on in AOD mode.

Apparently, a switched-on display requires a lot of power, regardless of the number of lit pixels. I tested on a Venu2 plus. Is this also the case with other AMOLED devices, or is it a firmware problem?

    No, I have an energy save option in my watchface.

    If this option is enabled the code exits at first of OnUpdate() when the device switch to low power mode of AMOLED devices. Then the watchface do nothing.

    But if the display set to AlwaysOn the battery consumption is t the same as my AOD code with enabled pixel is running.
