Battery consumption fw 20.26 increased

My 965 has increased battery consumption after 20.26 update. Is a further update planned to overcome this annoying issue?

Garmin-Jimmy please give us the same as Fenix 8, an update which fixes this battery bug. This was reported a lot of times during beta, the highest voted bug, but not even a single acknowledge from Garmin…

Have the same issue - 6% during the night. - vs 2% it was

and it came to more than 10% over the day with NO activity.

Any ideas?) (on top to factory reset)

This was a beta bug, but for me 20.26 seems to be ok. Check if garmin share is turned off, it was one of the culprits, that it was default on with the v20.x.

Settings - connections - Garmin share

Bonjour

je ne sais pas s’ils ont prévu résoudre ce problème mais il dure déjà depuis un petit moment.

une façon de réduire la consommation est de redémarrer la montre après exercice.sans ecercice avant je consommai 3% par jour et maintenant je suis à plus de 10% par jour.il est grand temps qu’il se penche sur ce problème.

Buongiorno, confermo sarebbe giusto che indaghino sul problema.

Bonjour

oui garmin share est bien désactivé donc ce n’est pas lui le coupable.

apres exercice je pense qu’une fonction n’est pas correctement arrêté et consomme de la batterie.

il faut que garmin se penche sur le problème.

entrainement course à pieds ce matin et 2%de consommation pour l’e révise.

24 heures sans rien faire et +10% de consommation.

that was the other reported bug - continued elevated power usage after workout, which stops after restart of watch. Others also reported it stopping after doing a sync with garmin connect app after workout. Worth checking. I always go through some data after workout, which may be the reason I don't experience that bug myself.

Anyway, these are firmware bugs, so can be corrected. Let's hope.

BTW, yesterday evening I have turned my watch off and then restarted it, battery consumption seems better. More tests to go, later I'll go for an outdoor run.

Mine exactly the same, needs restart after run, otherwise drain is noticeable
