Rapid battery draining issues since 18.27 update [FR965]

I have f965, I updated it to the new version 18.27. I turned off Pulse Ox and turned off allway display. I fully charged the battery last night and this morning it was at 58%. Does anyone have the same error?

    The answer is not convincing. I turned off all heart rate, spo2, gps measurements, the battery still dropped 2.3% in 1 hour. I thought it was a good suggestion to be able to analyze battery usage apps, I have tried similar apps like this and found it ineffective to only show battery percentage for 1 hour.

    I run between 4:40-5:40 am and listen to music for an hour, and my power consumption is 7%+3%=10%

    I don’t understand why I’m not convincing, you think that this widget shows the breakdown of applications, well, look at the photo.

    Examples are just examples to help someone understand how this can be used, and not an attempt to convince someone of something.

    for example I don't use any widgets or something so where is the problem at the firmware..

    This is battery % tracking. Does it list high battery usage apps?
    4684381 said:
    No, you can analyze the consumption for a selected interval,

    Now I don't understand your post

    It's clear to every user, but customer support still sends nonsense instructions, reasoning i.e the cause is the great number of installed ciq items (even if you had let's say 32 unused but installed datafield's...)

    The battery discharge process is not linear with v19.18. After I charged the watch to 100%, it discharged to 94% in watch-only mode in the first 4 hours. After 24 hours and a workout on the cross trainer in between, I'm at 91%. No music, no AOD. I preume these are all approximate values, don't take it too serious

    This is the answer I received from a CS rep - "I see you have x number of CIQ apps.  Delete those and then perform a factory reset of your watch and then report back."  That was a few weeks ago and I have not yet worked up the nerve to go through that exhausting process of re-setting up all the quintillion specific settings on my watch.

    I have 1 installed  CIQ data field (from Garmin) and no apps.  So that pretty much disproves their theory.  I’m still losing 16-20% battery overnight.

    Of course, 'cause the "theory" makes no sense.

    If one would have lots of widgets and would go through them a few times a day, then it would kind of make sense, but even then: where's that compared to a 1 hour workout per day?

    Now I understand that there can be some battery eating "things", like background processes, but to say that the number of CIQ items have anything to do with battery is a bit of a stretch. She also told me that it's because Connect IQ updates them :) Which again... how many times that happens a week?

    And to the one obvious fact that I emphatised in every email she didn't reply: how come I had the 30 CIQ items for 10 month, and more or less the same amount of workouts per week, and then the battery life suddenly overnight halved itself "because of the number of CIQ items", and not because of the coincidence that on that day Garmin relelased a new buggy FW version...
