My battery is currently draining very fast.
Lost 35% in 10 hours (with a 50 min run)

But it drained only 3% during my sleep... weird, as usual.

Edit : 100% at midnight, wore the watch through the night…

I did try a factory reset after having battery issues and still having the same battery issues. Please look into this update to patch this leak.

UPDATE: I have the chance to get a VA4 with 5.8.0 and nothing happens about battery, even with a CIQ wathface etc.

so it does not happen to everyone. May be under some condition like auto DnD or Gesture settings etc.

Thanks for the update! I feel like auto DND at night is when it happens.

I've auto DND and CIQ watchface, and some widgets too. But I can't say that my battery drain increased a lot. It's still way higher than I wish to or than was advertised by Garmin but acceptable.

And yes, I have gestures disabled right now and always make sure to disable HRM sensor so it wouldn't be searched by watch(I'm yet to find out how much battery it's using).

Last night I had DND off and my battery drain was 50% in 7 hours. Only at night. During the day the drain is ok.

The reason for the battery drain can only be the sleep tracking
