Sense is increasing the battery usage

Has anyone else seen a marked increase in their Fitbit Sense battery usage?

A battery for me use to be able to last 4 or 5 days - I would refrain for charging it when I was washing, just to see how long it would last.

In the last 2 weeks though, there has been a sharp drop to the point where it will blitz through the battery within 2. Its almost like flicking a switch, or a battery hungry update was pushed.

I have not changed anything, my sleeping habits are not different, even reducing the screen timeout to 8 seconds (it's already on dim and no movement based wake).

It's not even a year old yet, as I only paid the Premium after 6 months trial earlier this year!

 

Moderator edit: clarified subject.

I most definitely have seen a drop in my battery consumption. Of course, Google doesn't care about Fitbit's user base. They are more focused on their battery hungry pixel watch. Good 🤞 luck!

Also check that SpO2 is disabled. 

All three are battery hogs and it is possible that one of them accidentally got turned on
