Anyone else having battery drain after the latest 9.24 update?

Hello. I have the same problem with my autonomy after last update. Normaly i get arround 10-12 days with the basic functions on, AOD off, blutooth on every other day for sync only, no activity recorded in that periiod,, gesture off. After the update in 4-5 days i have 5% . Ive done that reset , and after charged my watch 100% but the same in 5 days 5% battery. I think there is a problem with WIFI management. What ive done is turning off wifi and starting an activity automatically when detects im walking, charged to 100% and now i get arround 4-6% draining/day so after 3 days i have 82% remaining and in that way i will get arround 12-13 days again. I will try after couple of chargings to set wifi ON again to see what happens 
What ive noticed is that when i record an activity(cycling, arround 4-6h of activity)i get the same draining as before this problem, so the fast draining happens in smartwatch mode from some bad battery management.

Thank you for this.  Bought one for my wife and one for me 2 weeks ago, and she had much better battery life out of the box. I noticed mine update during the set up and I only got 3 1/2 days per charge. At 8pm yesterday I followed this process and after 15 hrs I have only lost 8%: a massive improvement, I was losing over 25% in 24 hrs before this. At this rate I should get 9 days from a charge. Thanks again! 

With wifi off I have 96% left after 24h

Can't upload photo. Now after 60h of use I have 86%

Settings, hold couple of seconds lower button, settings, sustem, conectivity and there u have wi-fi and phone
After 4 and a half days 72% left, no activity recorded, no bluetooth conection just fast sync with phone, gesture off, spo2 off, aod off but same settings before with wifi on right about now i would have almost 10% battery left

Right, so under the wifi settings there is jo way to turn wifi off. Only change the status of Auto-upload (which is off by default), manage networks and wifi sync initiator.

What really saves the battery is the absence of BT connection to the phone - which is hardly the normal use case for a Smart watch, isn't it?

hmm, i had it previously set ON, and now set it to OFF.. I think you are right. Another thing ive done is move iq deactivated. Maybe reseting the watch for me the battery isue was solved. sry

I do I repeat these steps everytime I want to charge or is this a one time fix. Also anyone knows if its okay to charge your Garmin from your phone or does it have to be a laptop or a power bank?

It doesnt matter. Most important its the reset. First reset didnt work for me and charged from laptop. 2nd reset after 5 days(100-10%) and then i charged from outlet. After that i got normal draining. Now if i turn off bluetooth from the watch, no AOD, i got 19days estimating(arround 17days real time) but u can get 19 days if under 10% u activate the extreme battery/ settings. Last charge with 3h of gps activity i got 12 days

The issue from 8 months ago is back on my Venu 3s (Oct2024). It started draining over 60% in one day with no changed settings and no workout or GPS tracking in the last few days. Normally it drains only 8-10% per day even with constant HR and step tracking.
