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?

I had the battery drain issue but no longer have it. I still have “find my” and “notify when left behind” on. I charged my AirPods yesterday morning and they’ve just been sitting since and I’m still at 100%. The solution for me was draining the batteries in the case and AirPods completely then charging them. I waited for the case to no longer light up before charging. I tried everything else mentioned in this string and this was the only thing that worked. It seems to give the AirPods and case a hard reset. Unlike the iPhone there isn’t a way to just hit a few buttons in a certain sequence to trigger the hard reset.

Are you sure that the case is not draining because of the “find my network”?

Ooh I see. I read some reviews about the new firmware saying that it bugs the ANC and sound quality. Lets hope they correct it and release a new one.

This is an ongoing issue that Apple continues to fail to acknowledge is a widespread problem.

Disappointing that we are not receiving the use time that Apple advertises. This is very concerning considering that amount Apple charges for AirPods.

Oh 😟 really , normally AirPods battery 🪫 state should remain stable. So I don’t know how the battery percentage has increased alone

Turning off notify if left behind still doesn't help. I'm still getting 18 to 20% drain a day when not being used. I've left numerous Bug feedback to apple, hopefully they will fix if they can figure it out.

Yep, I am currently on my way to drain all of the case battery to empty. This is the method that I haven’t tried before. Hopefully my airpods will back to normal after fully charged. But still, I will keep the notify airpods off from the settings.
