I have updated my fenix 5 (regular) to 22.40 and I am experiencing a lot of battery drain!

For me also after upgrade to 22.40 - hourly 0,65%, before it was 0,15-0,25%

I guess I solved the problem of battery drain:

- first I restored to factory settings (from the watch)

- so I downgraded to 21.00 (this did another factory reset)

- and then updated again to 22.40 (from Gramin Express)

Now the consumption is normal again.

Thank you.

I followed your steps, and now my watch is OK again.

I can confirm that consumption is around 8% per day if not using GPS
