Any other fixes in 20.29?

I know Garmin often fails to fully describe changes in their firmware change logs. Does anybody know, from customer service interactions, whether other fixes are supposed to be in the 20.29 update that is now rolling out? E.g. for the battery drain issues many people are talking about?

I updated to 20.29 and I did a complete reset to the watch then disabled Garmin share option, reboot the watch and there is no battery drain so far, from 84-85% to 83% overnight, I haven't seen if there…

It certainly appears to be alot better in 20.29 so far compared to 20.26 since I upgraded last night. Only dropped a few % over 16 hours.

The test will be next charge cycle, as will try that with out doing…

I tried to reset by Delete and Reset Settings options with 3 times. Lastly, I tried to reset by Reset Default Settings option. So my watch now can detect the gps but taking too long to get that signal.

For me, a miracle happened. I hope I don't shout it out. With 20.29 I had my first 100% charge yesterday. I unplugged the watch from the charger at 9pm and it's still at 100% at 7:20am. No night mode, no SpO2 measurement, just pulse.
I have not had any problems with GPS reception.
Oh, I didn't even reset it.
I'll be curious to see how the full battery cycle goes.
