Sense Battery Issues After Firmware Update

I updated the firmware on my Sense last week and since then the battery consistently lasts about 4 hours. Firmware is now version 44.128.6.17 (latest release). Before the update I would easily get a few days of battery life depending on how often I interacted with the Sense. I've tried a few things so far, each multiple times but no improvement to battery life: restart Sense, restart phone, unpair/re-pair Sense, disable/enable Bluetooth on phone and Sense. Always on is disabled and always has been. 

 

If downgrading firmware was an option I would do that next but looks like that's not an option. Any other ideas?

 

Thanks

@TortleP if snore detect is on, turn off, if off turn on, then turn off, some have reported it gets turned on even when it looks like it is off. YMMV

Is that a premium only option? I'm not premium and looks like it is, or I simply can't find option to turn it on/off

Click on sleep tile from home page

top right you’ll see a cog wheel, tap it.

scroll down and will see snore and noise detect, (if there). Toggle it off if green.

I had to sign up for premium (free trial) to try this, but unfortunately it didn't work. It's not worth wearing my Fitbit any more, the battery lasts less than a day. This is the 3rd or 4th Fitbit I've owned that only lasts 1-2 years before failing in some way, I think this will be my last one.
