After 18.10 update my battery went down from 53% to 10% in only one night...!

Even in Battery Save mode, without any Bluetooth connection, no Pulse Ox, no Sleeping Monitor and without Hear Rate monitor.
What happened to my Instinct Solar?
I hope GARMIN will fix this serious problem as soon as possible.
It's incredible that to fix a problem (altimeter) can creates another one...!
Can my Instinct Solar fully function correctly as it did several updates ago?

    The battery issue is still happening in 18.41, and the HR monitor and Pulse OX still do not work. My next step is to reach out to support.

    Hi, they’ve released a 18.41 beta update that’s solved the issue for me regarding battery drain etc

    I have the same issue. Mine will drain from 100% to zero and shut itself off in less than 24 hrs without me even touching it. I contacted customer support and they tried to tell me it was a hardware issue even though I had no issues prior to the update and I've found numerous forums about people experiencing battery drains on their devices (Instinct and other Garmin devices) after a software update. They said the only solution would be to exchange it for a refurbished one per the warranty. I'm not taking any chances on a refurbished device.
