@Kris01 Welcome to the Fitbit community.

 

What are your settings? I can get 4 whole days with these settings:

 

Brightness dim, screen wake motion and button, always-on display off, snore & noise detection off, SpO2 on.

 

The biggest battery drainers, especially overnight, are the snore & noise detection and SpO2, but more so the snore & noise. With it on, I lose around 20% over 7 hours of sleep. With that option off, I only lose around 6-8% over 7 hours of sleep. I had it on for over a week and I don't snore and noise is minimal so it wasn't worth the drain. If I turned off SpO2 I would definitely get 5-6 days. I keep that on because it's part of the health metrics.

 

FYI: There are a lot of common topics in the community. There's a very good search function at the top

after downloading the new firmware I noticed that the battery usage is more than what I expected. I charged it during the download and started using it after I got full charged. After 8 hours of used, the battery remaining 80%. I don’t think it can last 6 full days anymore. How am I going to overcome this? I put to sleep mode at least 12 hours every night and I don’t use it for call and the light level is dim. No gps and just for looking at the time

@Christian565 Welcome to the Fitbit community.

 

What firmware number are you on? I'm on this version and my battery life has been the same.

Did you read my reply above? What are your other settings especially the Snore and Noise Detection and SpO2? Make sure that an update didn't happen to turn those on by default if you've always had them off.
