Sense Battery excessive drain

[JG1489]

My new (1 month)  Fitbit Sense on Android phone is losing a ridiculous amount of battery life when turned off.  I removed SPO2 and other non-essential apps.  I ensure the watch is turned completely off yet It seems to drop 10-20% overnight?  Apparently off doesn't mean off?  Now this morning when I turned it on, it was at 68% and within 45 minutes, dropped to 25%, sending an alert to my phone that the battery was low. I double checked all settings and there is nothing out of the ordinary. Bad battery?

Welcome to the Fitbit community.

20% drain overnight can be attributed to Snore and Noise Detection if that's on. With it off and SpO2 on, my drain is around 7-9%.

However, going from 68% to 25% in less than an hour sounds very excessive and probably not settings related. Have you shutdown and power back on your Sense since noticing the shortened battery life? You might want to contact customer support about this.

So how do I stop/turn off this snore detection.

The numbers it gives are rubbish anyway.

It cannot even detect correct bed times.

@OldGrandad Open the Fitbit app, tap the sleep tile, tap the gear :gear: icon in the top right corner, snore and noise detection should be at the bottom.

As for determining bedtime, it's been very accurate for me and my use. I usually glance at the time before going to bed and it'll start my sleep around 5 minutes or so from that time. Remember they do say the following:

When your body is completely at rest and you haven’t moved for about an hour, your Fitbit device records that you’re asleep.

If you are moving a lot in the first hour, it will state a later start.

Thank you I've turned it off hopefully it will extend my battery life.
