Significant battery drain with Vivoactive 5 after I got an update this morning. Battery drained ~40% in the past 7 hours just with walking and casual activity. Not sure if this is a problem others are experiencing?

Did you experience the drain just after updating? Sometimes when you do an update, there are background processes that can drain battery that will level out a week or so. later.

Try restarting the watch.

Had my mine for six months no issues, did the most recent update and my battery has dropped like 20% in a couple hours

Had my vivoactive 5 for around 6 months, no issues. Until I downloaded latest update and within a couple hours the battery drained like 30%.

I updated yesterday and i am experiencing the exact same issue. Garmin support has been no help. I have tried resetting the whole thing and it didn't fix anything
