2 nights in a row, my battery has decreased 5% each night over 7 hours of standby. The first night 99% to 94%, and the second 97% to 92%. Wifi connected, Bluetooth on.

No drain, sleeps like a baby. Around 0.5% drain

Standby drain is quite a lot worse than on my OP6 tbh. During night I lose 5% vs. 2% on my OP6. I also lose more during the day in standby. In 15 hours time I lost 40% with just only 2 hours SOT. No culprit in battery graph.

My standby at night is HORRIBLE. It was amazing on my 6T with only a few percent lost at night (6-7 hours). My 7T doesn't seem to go in to any sort of standby. It pretty much straight line drains the whole day with no distinction for night.
With my 6T I was often able to go 48 hours between charges with moderate usage. This one mows through battery at night.

Mine drains by about 5% overnight and i leave network, Bluetooth and WiFi on and i have also turned off Sleep Standby Optimisation to make sure any calls or alerts get though due to having elderly parents.

Same experience, although my battery drain during the night isn't that bad (5%), but still not good. My issue is mainly idle drain during the day.
Been at work past 12 hours. Lost 25%, and I barely used the phone (maybe 20min). This wasn't the case with my OP6. Weird.

I lost 20% from 12:15 am to 7:30 am. It was at 33% when I put it down and 13% when I got up. I cleared out all recent apps before turning off the screen and going to bed.

Last full charge 113 minutes ago

Lol this battery sucks. Might return.

Last full charge 6 hours ago

Yeah this really sucks.. phone is going back tomorrow.

I don't know how long you've had it, but I've noticed that the battery is significantly better after a week or two.. I think it's something with android 10. Right now I'm at 10hrs since charge. 1h 15m use. I've lost only 10%.
Last week it was the double.

Battery life seems pretty terrible for a new phone.

See my post above.

I noticed a really high battery drain through wakelock auf WhatsApp gcm. I've seen that it prevent my Phone going into deep sleep. I have to switch off battery optimization because of stopping the push service for incoming messages. Are there other persons with this problem?

Standby time? As in how long the phone has been off the charger and power use while screen is off and not used?
edit: post pics
Wouldn't this show you more of an objective number? Seeing how much power used in a given amount of idle?

Yeah I guess that isn't gonna work. It's just showing how long it's been on. I have no idea how to actually show how much usage at idle aside from unplugging it at a specific time at night and checking it in the morning
My idle time according to gsam is 1.5% per hour. This is sitting on my nightstand, everything on (bt,wifi,etc) and a pebble and fitbit alta connected as well as always on screen enabled. I would say it is excellent idle time.
this is not bad at all

I charged mine to 100% last night before I went to bed. Sat it on the nightstand and it was at 96% when I woke up. That was with WIFI on and no fancy little watches or anything like that connected.

4% on a whole night is pretty good.
Had the same experience with mine last night. Went to be at 70% charged woke up 8 hours later at 66%. Seems pretty decent really. This was with wifi and cellular on, and Bluetooth off.
2am to 7am and 1% drop, with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth on connected to gear s3. But I have a bunch of apps that I don't use disabled with bk disabled like bloat stuff.
For an Android phone, I'd say standby time is pretty spectacular, especially if you have Always On Display turned off. I don't have any hard numbers, but subjectively, it's the best Android device I've had in this regard.
The Note 8 standby time isn't as good as my S8+ yet, but it's only gone through one or two charging cycles. My S8+ would drop from 100% to 98% in a 10 hour period over night. The Note 8 drops about 8% in the same amount of time. As I said previously I have been using the S8+ since the 14th of April and the Note is still new. I have also disabled quite a few services on both phones and they are bone stock with just Substratum and a few layers installed.
charged before sleep to 100%, waked up 6 hours later, at 99%. Best ever, usually get 97-96 % on previous phones. But I have to admit I have sync turned off, don't use facebook or anything like that, manually killed most apps I used during day and have AOD only for 45 min, during time I get ready for work in the morning. Now, after 18 hours since full charge and 3 hr and 6 min screen time I'm at 58%. Seem to be pretty good especially that kids were playing games before, recorded some 4k video and had brightness cranked up to 50%. As it is, I should get at least 6-7 hrs screen time before battery dead, probably more if I lower resolution, lower brightness etc. Not sure why others complain about battery, more than good enough for me.

I'm interested and will do this as well. I will edit this post in the morning if I remember.
EDIT:
Unplugged at 11PM last night at 100%, woke up 8AM at 92%.
There may be an idle issue here.
I just got my Note 8 delivered today and I very interested in this as well. I am charging now that set up is complete and will check my percentage in the morning. I do like what I am reading so far!

I have terrible standby drain, basically the phone never truly sleeps, it is kept awake on a low CPU frequency by Kernel (Android OS).
This is what I see in GSam, and I lose 20% battery over one night (8 hours).
This is why my battery life is somewhat 4 h SOT over 24 hours.
And I think this device should be capable of double that, maybe 7 h SOT over 24 hours.
Anybody else see this king of behaviour ?
I had same problem with my U11+
I reset application preferences and now the smartphone seems to go into deep sleep (Doze)
Had pretty bad standby battery drain recently on my U11+ and did 2 things that seemed to have fixed it.
1) Cleared cache on HTC Doze
2) Ram Boost+ for the first time and then enabled Smart Boost
Did these ard 12hrs ago and standby drain seemed to have improved a lot. Will report in a few days to let you guys know if it's really fixed for me or not.

Is a known issue and HTC is already working on it.
So far, they recommend to reboot the phone every 1-2 days to prevent this.
Reboot everyday !?!
It's a boring solution... and not the solution for my problem.

You have 3,5 hours of SOT from 29% battery ?, and with 11 hours off the carger.
At this rate you will get more that 10 hours of SOT.
This seems almost unreal to me... I don't even have half of that, with medium use...
Please share more... settings, apps, how do you do it ?

This is my situation, with the last software update! 6 hours awake screen off!
I've only disabled Bluetooth, so no more connection to Android Wear watch... Zero issues with sleep now, two full days easily done.

I've heard really bad things about standby drain with this phone -- gsmarena's review indicates it's really horrible.
Can anyone with the phone elaborate on how it is?

I charge my phone during the night and remove it from the charger when I wake up during the night (usually at 3am). After that it's just laying around until about 10am(weekend) and if I pick it up it usually has 99 or 100%(wifi and Bluetooth enabled all the time). Of course there is more drain if you are on mobile data but you will have enough juice for one day for sure. I'm currently on 5,5h SOT with 22% left. Phone has not seen a charger for 13h and 34min, I had wifi for 10h and no time without signal
Well, after I disabled gallery sync, standby is really good. ~1%/hr which is for me perfectly fine

You are right, forgot to tell that, that mi sync stuff drained the battery a lot
(Test done with sync disabled)
During my sleep time (11PM-8AM - airplane mode active) it lose around 1% every two hours.
Else it lose around 1% every hour.
I'm currently at 86% of battery after doing 45~60 minutes of internet (estimated at 3% of battery use) and 15 hours and a half since last charge

Drained 1% overnight (9h), with Wifi and LTE on. Bluetooth connected to a smartwatch. Pretty great.
4% overnight (about 6 hours) drain with "clock on the screen" on and Wifi calling active.
I've been losing 10% overnight (8 hours) with AOD off. Wifi on. Any ideas?
Very bad for me, some 35% drained last night. Data, WiFi, BT all turned off.
Only once in the week I have had the device has the battery drain been acceptable overnight.
2% from 4am when I unplugged it; to 7am when I finally looked at my phone. Smartwatch is the only app showing up. Wifi on. With Ring and YouTube notifications showing on my phone. ****ing fantastic.

battery between 100% and 98% takes much longer to discharge. I suggest doing night standby tests when the battery is below 98%. for example: phone disconnected after full charge and the first 2% can give over 30 minutes SOT.
The battery in standby is much worse than in the Pixel 2 xl. It stays at 1,2-1.5% per hour. On the Pixel 2 xl, it was mostly below 1%, typically around 0.8% per hour. That's almost twice more.

I took my Pixel 5 off charge at midnight last night and when i looked at it at this 8am morning i was amazed to see the battery was still at 100% (WiFi, 4g, NFC and Bluetooth all on)

I can also confirm that the battery life/standby drain is absolutely amazing.
Just today gsmarena also posted its battery stats on pixel 5, which got Endurance rating of 93h, which according to my own experience and usage pattern means its helluvah performer battery wise! Anything over 80h is good!
https://www.gsmarena.com/battery-test.php3
I thought i would just leave it to see what would happen overnight again, so i am still on the same charge as the first screen shot but i have 3 hours SOT time now.
The stand by drain isn't quite as good as I expected. I'm losing about 1/3% per hour. When my Pixel 2 XL was brand new it also drained about 1/3% per hour on stand by and that was with a smaller battery and less power efficient processor. I'm certinaly not complaining, 1/3% per hour is great. Just a little surprised that it's a tiny bit worse than my Pixel 2 XL.
Mine definitely seems worse than my 2XL - that would maybe lose 5-10% overnight, while the 5 seems more like 20% at the moment, even after 2 weeks for it to settle down.
Just loosing 1-3% over the complete night here. Maybe have a look into your battery statistics to find out whats causing this drain on your devices?
This is mine overnight again.

Same here. First night stayed at 100% as well, then next day synced everything and lost 2%, last night with flip to shh on I lost 1% over close to 8 hours. First Pixel where I'm not hunting for a plug out during the day. I have exercise tracking software I use pretty much daily so SOT doesn't really pertain when it's activity tracking with screen off. But still getting around 5 hours taken into account.
Just to add my battery indicator drops how i would expect it to with usage, i am not seeing this stuck bug thing people are seeing.

Yeah, that's pretty bad. I haven't used AOD on my Pixel 5 but I remember testing it on my Pixel 2 XL when it was new and stand by tripled from 1/3% per hour to about 1% per hour. So yeah 2% does seem really bad.

fantastic result. How is Spotify using little energy there? for me it consumes the battery a lot.
In addition, the standby time is very poor. Not using the phone at all, maybe he could handle it Three days. And so it barely lasts 2 days out of 3h SOT if I'm lucky. Of course, I can achieve 8-10h SOT in one time but the standby kills the batteries in the long run.
Hi all, just wanted to report my less than ideal standby drain.
My Pixel 2 XL used to behave better as someone previously commented - I can 100% confirm this.
My P5 would usually use around 0.8/1.1%/h with hibernation time of roughly 80/90% during screen off (AccuBattery stats).
The average values might be skewed a bit since during the day I often listen to Spotify via my TWS buds, but at night the graph doesn't lie: it's quite visible that something's going on, as per screenshots.
Unfortunately I took them after this morning's quick refill, but you can still see clearly that when I put it on my night stand it was at ~50% and I woke up in the high 30s...
The line is not even close to being flat.
Where has all the nice work around doze gone?
Also, why is it so hard for Google to let us know precisely what is using all that energy?
Any tips?
I'm not rooted, no AOD and all my sensors are on - I don't want to babysit my battery.
With this setup I was getting better standby efficiency with my 2XL, I'm sure.
I've already reported this to Google with logs, hopefully some upcoming monthly patch will include some standby optimization
