Forerunner 955 FW12.23 - very serious eternal Sync bug - rapid battery drain

Try turning the Bluetooth on the phone off and then on and sync right away. See if that resets the connection 

This made it way worse and it syncs every 5 seconds now

I tried removing the Bluetooth connection and setting the watch up again, doesn't help, it's now syncing continuously.

Geez man this update basically bricked the watch, what the hell Garmin?

Forerunner 255S got fw 12.23 this morning and not only app sync quite frequently, but it always fails. I tried to reboot phone, watch, bluetooth connection is fine (i see noticifications on watch, i see the step count, current heart rate, etc. on the phone, but graphs or activities are not synchronized since update. So I see 10K steps (over 6km walk) and when I click on it to see the graphs, I see only 45 steps I made when I went to bed.
I've tried to report it by email, hopefully it'll be fixed.

After updating fw 12.23, I slept and woke up, and it was 32% off.
It was 87% before going to bed, but it fell to 55% when I woke up.
The update also consumed more battery.

Yes can confirm, sounds like this probably root cause of battery drain that has been reported on other forms. Thought 12.20 was supposed to fix this but here were are at 12.23 in a worse state…
