Hello folks,
With the upgrade to 13.22 my Fenix 7 Solar (Garmin Connect iOS) consumes 12% battery per day, after cold start. With 11.28 the watch needed 6-8% per day without sun and activities.
It's a pity.
Hello folks,

For me 30% down in 3 days with 3 hrs of GPS activities. No significant change from 11.28 or any earlier firmware.
Let your watch run out of battery then charge it to 100 percent. Once it’s fully charged reset your watch by holding the light button for 10 or 20 seconds. Once you turn it back on go to setting then check…

Another indicator of the increased power usage is that Garmin shows the remaining battery as 7 days, but the widget shows projected remaining battery (based on the discharge rate) as 3.6 days. That is while running in smartwatch mode. I've reset the widget a couple of hours ago.
I updated yesterday and so far I'm not seeing any difference in battery useage.

How did you do the update ? With Express ? If so, Windows or MAC ? Or via Connect / Wifi ?
I’m monitoring the consumption rate in v13.22. Will share after next week with you guys.
For me WiFi from the watch.
By wifi on the watch
Same thing here, battery consumption is exactly doubled since upgrade to 13.22. I did a cold restarteof the warch but no changes.
Give it a time, power cycle your watch (and make a full recharge). Also reboot your phone (restart Garmin Connect app). Do not check the battery widget every 10 seconds! :)
Since then I have no issues. (Tactix 7, 0.2% per hour with custom CIQ watch face with permanent second hand and a lot of data with antialiased graphics.)
Please review this Support Center article along with your watch settings:
- Why is My fēnix 7 or fēnix 7 Pro Watch Battery Draining Quickly?
- Soft reset your watch by holding down your top left button until your watch shuts off then let go of your button.
As a last resort if your issue continues, reset your watch to factory defaults through your System > Reset menu.
If you still continue to have the issue, please reach out to Outdoor Product Support in your region.
