AirPods Pro 2 case is draining battery without using the AirPods

Hi,


Battery on my AirPods Pro 2 case is draining 20 - 25 % a day without using the AirPods. I have the latest firmware. Is anyone else having the same problem? Thanks

Did you already try to reset the AirPods?

If this does not work, get the case checked by visiting an Authorized Apple Service Provider or contacting Apple Support about that:

I have had my AirPods Pro 2nd generation for 3 weeks and see exactly the same, overnight the case battery drain about 15% per night. I still have my old 1st generation AirPods and they do not do this.

I have already tried to reset the AirPods, and from searching online it appears that this has been a widespread problem for the 2nd gen for at least 2 months.

Firmware 5B58

I should have learned my lesson with the 1st generation replacements ANC crackling problem.

Side by side with my new AirPods Pro 2nd gen (that I have had for only 1 month) I still have my old AirPods Pro 1st gen that are 3-years old (which has that widespread crackle sound Apple will not fix).

Leaving them both unused on my desk over the weekend, the new 2nd gen drained from 100% to 70%, whilst the 3-year-old case maintained their charge.

This requires a fix or a refund soon.

I called Apple and they seem very unsure how to handle this issue. I'm installing iOS 16.3 on my iPhone right now in case that helps. I lose roughly 20% overnight without any use of these things. It's not like these are their first AirPods and I fond it just a bit frustrating that they seem to be so lost as to why this is happening.


Having done significant research on the internet, I tried ALL of the solutions proposed before calling Apple. Once I made that clear to them, they suggested I unpair them from my iPhone and pair them to another device, so I paired them to my wife's iPhone -- same phone as mine so why would that make any difference?? Nothing changed.


It's very frustrating to get something new only to then have to struggle with problems to make it work as intended. Any way I can be put on their payroll as a product tester???

It's only been less than a week since I've gotten my set of Airpod Pro Gen 2 but I noticed that the case has been draining battery for no apparent reason. Airpods are at 100% capacity but there is still a noticeable drain on the case. Similarly as how other users are experiencing, the case is being drained overnight by 20-30% when it's not in use (bearing in mind the airpods are at 100%). Pretty frustrating as the battery life isn't as advertised / claimed by Apple.

Same here. Got battery drain after update to the last version of firmware. Already tried swich off Find my, tried to reset and other popular recommendation. Nothing helps me. It is so bad user experience. This is my first headphones from A and I faced with low quality product. My other IEMs from china (which cost 30 dollars) works without any problems.
