Sense Batter life - suddenly decreased from 4 days to less than 2

[vinant]

Without any apparent changes, time between consecutive charges has suddenly dropped from 4 days to under 2 days. I never got the advertised 6+ days, but I attributed it to my higher activity level. However this drop from 4 to 2 days in last month without any change in configuration, or activity level is both puzzling and disconcerting. This watch is only 4 months old.

Given that the watch is still under warranty, I can have Firbit take a look at any hardware issues. But wondering if anyone has any other suggestions before I pursue that option?

Mine is less that 2 months old and never got more than 3 days out of it. I'm currently on about 40 hours after a charge and at 23%. And I haven't done any exercise tracking/no "always on display" or anything like that. Highly disappointed. I had an Ionic for about 3 years and still got 4 days regularly unless I was highly active.

@vinant  and @jakes86  - new features get added and things can accidentally get enabled. New versions of the Fitbit App come along.

To alleviate the matter remove all options to confirm you can get full 6 days before enabling what you need. How to resolve the Major issues causing short battery life.  Pay note to the syncing disabling.

Thanks for the answer. This reminded me of the new feature I turned on about a month ago to detect snoring. I will probably use that feature for a few more weeks and then disable it. I am hoping the battery life to go back to 4 days once that is done. I would not want to turn off all the features (like GPS) for 6 days just to test the battery life. I would be very happy with 4 days,
