Airpods Pro 2nd gen case battery drain

Hello everyone, I have recently got AirPods pro 2nd generation and I believe I am experiencing case battery drain issues to some extent. I used the AirPods without ANC and listened to music for 2 hours and realized that the case dropped from 85% to 72% to charge the AirPods from 95% to 100%. With this pace, I can never reach the advertised 30 hours of play time even without ANC. Interestingly, it seems like the case is not losing much battery when it is in idle mode, so not being used. Is this normal behavior or do you think there is smt wrong with my AirPods?

So I finally did the following which seems to have stopped the battery drain and resolved the play sound case issue.


1) Forget AirPod pro 2 from iPhone Bluetooth

2) Reset AirPod Pro 2 by pressing button on case until the case light turns orange then white

3) reset network settings on iPhone

4) repair the AirPod Pro 2 to the iPhone.


Now the battery drain has stopped, find my works, and play sound on case works.


It’s definitely a software bug. But hopefully this will work for you.
