Battery drain overnight

My vivoactive 4 has major battery drain overnight (about 40% over 8 hours) . It only happen during sleeping time. During the day it is fine (about 1% per hour). Anyone has similar issues/solution?
I have done reset several times.

Hello! Are you getting notifications at night? Is your pulse OX on all day? About what percentage is it at before bed?

Any news? This is annoying to recharge all the time. The device reset nor backlight off do not help.

Thanks for the reply. The pulse Ox is turned off. Bluetooth-to-phone also turned off therefore no notifications.
Battery go from 80%->40% next morning. (happened few nights in a row)

When i charge it back to 80% following day, the battery drop about 0.7%-1% per hour during the day.
Battery drain only happened at night.

Can you tell me what Software Version you are on?

0 6969461 over 3 years ago in reply to Garmin-AmberD

SW version 6.0.0

Just update quite recently.

Does this new update cause issues?

Is your backlight on in settings? Test turning it off completely (not just setting it to 0%, but turning it off). See if it works again.

Do you mean turn off the watch completely overnight?

I turn off the light setting before going to sleep daily.

I install a battery monitoring widget and this is how it looks.
Battery life is normal during the day but drain during sleep.

Turn it off COMPLETELY. Not 0%. Turn it off.

This sorted battery drain issue - I get 5/6 days again. It's an issue Garmin need to address.

Hey 6969461 which widget is this?

0 6969461 over 3 years ago in reply to Al P

Better battery widget. Just to monitor battery usage.
