Is there something strange happening with WatchOS today? I have a Series 2 Nike Edition running 5.3.2 and a Series 5 Nike Edition running 6.0.1. Both has normal "all day battery" life prior to today. However, today both have drained battery much quicker (the Series 2 drained almost completely in half a day, the Series 5 now down to 7% after 10 hours). What would cause this sudden battery drain? No change in usage.
Apple Watch
This is a follow up to my previous posts. I found that my iPhone and Apple Watch were still draining faster than they should.
Reviewing the diagnostic logs from my iPhone and watch, I found TrustedPeersHelper still taking a lot of CPU on both devices. My mac has been fine, but something still wasn't right with my other devices.
So, this time I ran this terminal command from my mac: tpctl reset
I was then forced to login to iCloud on my mac and iPhone, but ever since my watch and iPhone are not running hot. Yesterday, I wore my watch from 7 am to midnight, and I still had 60% remaining on my watch, and 70% on my iPhone.
The "tpctl reset" resolved all of my battery issues!
If you don't have a mac, I'd recommend calling Apple or going to an Apple store. They must have a way to do the equivalent of "tpctl reset" on your behalf from their side. I hope this helps everyone.
Same here!!
Also watch won't charge to anything above 89%
Thank you. Thank you Seemed to work. My watch was draining 30% in an hour last night. Did what you said and this morning back to normal 2% in an hour.
cheers.
Awesome! Glad it worked.
Same problem with Apple Watch 5 and iPhone XS Max. Has apple gone dead on this issue?
2-3 days ago, my Watch4 started doing the same thing. Very weird.
Same for me. Returned to normal for a few days and then reverted.
All suddenly I experience the same problem on Apple Watch series 4 LTE running WatchOS 6.0.1
After a work out. See time stamp for these posts. I’m now at 91%.
Thanks that worked for me as well...
What is it that worked well for you?
same thing with me. updating has not helped..
me. too. sick and tired of this crap. ever since the update I have to take my watch off to recharge.
Hi, I have the exact same problem; have you received any advise from Apple on this issue.
I would tend to agree..
Apple Watch sudden battery drain?
