Trouble with Apple Watch 6 battery

Hello!


I've update Apple Watch 6 (A2292) os in September to 9.1 And I've trouble with battery from this time. I've tried to ask Apple support 5 times for last months but they can't help me.


Example of battery usage during sleep. From 00 to 06 - 70%


The battery does not always drain quickly during sleep, it can happen during the day, there is no pattern, Just during sleep, third-party applications should not be launched.

Now I'm factory resetting the watch and reconfiguring it as a new device.

And it looks good to me, just like before the OS update. But it takes about 3 days and the problem with the battery appears again, I again see the same graph as above where 70% was spent in 6 hours.


Apple support couldn't help me even after the watch was diagnosed. I'm starting to suspect that some hidden program is running on the watch.


Has anyone encountered similar behavior of an Apple watch? Is there anyway to find out which program on the watch uses a lot of energy?

If the battery drains too fast after an update, see all the replies to:

WatchOS 7.5 battery drain - Apple Community

FWIW, in some cases, unpairing the watch, completely erasing it, then pairing and restoring the backup will resolve the battery draining issue after an update. (Simply unpairing and pairing again may not work.)

Also, some people have found that simply waiting a few days after an update resolves the battery draining problem.


To answer your last question, if the heart rate sensors on the back of the watch are constantly on (as during a workout) it will certain your watch battery quickly,
