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
Contacted Apple Support this morning who suggested rebooting both iPhone (11 Pro) and watch. Did not fix the problem, watch drained to 0% in 5 hours. iPhone has also drained down to 60% in the same time, which is much quicker than usual. Looked at the Battery Level screen, and note that Music has used 30% of my battery with more than 2 hours background activity although I have not listened to any music on my phone today. Any ideas?
To update after 24hrs. My watch ended the day with its pre 6.1.2 battery performance. ~24hrs. Seemed to settle out after a few hours for me.
That seems to be normal. I've seen that happen with the Series 0, 2, 3 and 5.
Schedule a genius appointment then. See if the battery is defective. That's about all you can do now. I'm leaning towards them telling you it's not a battery issue.
Take it to an Apple store. Nothing more to be gained from posting here.
I am sorry you had to face this problem
Seems like a case of a fault in the battery.
I'd advise you take your watch to the apple service centre.
I'm still having this issue under watchOS 6.1.3. My Series 4 used to last two days, ending the day with ~60%. Now it barely gets 20%. So frustrating.
Oh yes! TrustedPeerHelpers. Event: cpu usage (93% cpu average). I have three separate logs for this.
So, at the end of your info you load into terminal, do I then wait for it to say:
tpctl validate | head
{
"health" :1,
"results" : {
Because it did nothing for me after I entered info into terminal
and theres no apps running in the background. & the workout app started popping up yesterday after months of being disabled. nuisance app.
In my case the alert badge disappeared once I re-authenticated to iCloud. Battery life has been perfect ever since.
Guila, you are correct. I just checked and the iCloud warning sign is also gone!
Apple Watch sudden battery drain?
