Thanks!

after the last 2/3 updates I noticed a drastic battery consumption, with an epix gen 2 47mm I had a consumption of around 8% per day, now we are at 14% so much so that the battery life forecast scales every day 2 approximately days of autonomy.

this is not the only issue

some are older not fixed, some are new

Where do I log issues?

Updated to 18.13 today and now whenever I'm in glances, when I press back it wants to activate an assistance request.

I also cannot access/start any of my activities, nor can I active Sleep mode via hot key.

I've powered off and restarted but no joy.

Hope my watch is not ruined

Thanks

you enroll into Beta Program, without reading the WiKi ???

I give you hint

Thanks.

I did read it but a LONG time ago and I'm getting old and forgetful!

Seems to have resolved... It was stuck in some activity I could not review until it flashed up a lap.. Managed to stop the activity (might have been assistance... Really not sure) and all working as normal now..
