Hi there, @inemei. Thanks for stopping by in the Fitbit Community Forums. I'm sorry to hear that your Sense battery is draining very fast. I understand how you must be feeling. I'll do my best to help you with this.

Are you using Snore Detection? If so, please note that the Snore Detection feature does impact your device’s battery, so we recommend charging your device to at least 40% before going to bed. For more information, see How can I use my Fitbit device to detect snoring and noise levels while I sleep? 

However, I'd like to share with you that the battery life will depend on how frequent certain features are used in general. Because you're using an Always-On Display clock face, I'd recommend changing the clock face to another one made by Fitbit and monitor your it's behavior in the next day. Additionally, try turning off this setting by opening the Settings app on your watch > Display > Always-on display.

My battery is draining fast, also! I don't use snore detection (pointless with a cpap) and have never used Always-On display (because I knew it'd drain the battery). Also my clock face is a fitbit basic sp02 one and pretty much has been the majority of time I've had my fitbits (1st was a versa 3, now the sense). I have noticed that when I sleep it uses up approximately 20% of the battery. I'm kinda annoyed that I need to charge it like every 3-4 days (not the world's worst problem, but still frustrating). I don't know about you, but fitbit seems to have went downhill, since Google took over and I won't be buying another one after this one is used up & would need replaced. Oh! Just remembered- I have noticed mine always says it is charging slowly, but it doesn't unless I'm not using a fitbit brand charger. I hope you're able to get your battery issue fixed! 😃
