Airpods Pro 2nd gen case battery drain

“Please guy can you try what was said above turning off the left behind option and it did the trick for me even if it’s only a temporary fix , but I don’t get the drain at all since I did it .”

———-

I don’t have the issue. So, I can’t try it. But give insight to Apple on your fix.

On your iphone's settings app, under your profile/icloud account, there is an airpods setting that pops up when you either have the case opened or the airpods are in use, if the airpods are in the case and the case is opened, you wont see it. Thats where you control the airpods settings, it has accessibility, audio accessibility, headphone accommodation, if headphone accommodation is turned on, turn it off.

Yes, so what I did, I off this function to tell you when AirPods is too far and also I turn off Bluetooth completely in settings of my phone when not use pods. It stopped draining when I’m not using AirPods completely. In evening it was 71% and after turn off all this in the morning (after about 10-12 hours) it was still 71. Somehow when you turn off your Bluetooth only through bar (icon became grey) AirPods still connecting to phone and drain battery

I just updated to the latest firmware 5E133.

It now has a “paused” state for Notify When Left Behind and when you tap it, it says:

“Notify When Left Behind is Temporarily Paused

You have not connected to your AirPods recently. This feature is temporarily paused to save battery life.

To resume using this feature, reconnect to your AirPods.”

so, I guess they’re aware of the issue and hopefully this update will result in an improvement.

Are you sure you are doing a full reset? Not just forget the airpods on you bluetooth settings of your iphone, pressing the button on the case till it lights up red/orange then doing the pairing process again?

And the airpods are on firmware 5E133?

Are you sure you have done el correct reset and not only a "forget this device"? You have to press the back button on the case till the light turns yellow. Its like 15 seconds you have to hold down the button

Have you tried to use your airpods for 5h and see how much battery the case use to charge it? My case uses 10% of its charge to charge my airpods from 90 to 100% and the same 10% to charge from 50 to 100%. If I use the airpods for long periods of time, I can reach the 30h of use with the case. But if I use them for short periods of time, I can barely reach 12h total.

I realised my batteries were draining super fast 4 weeks ago at the same time I was in a holiday resort of which I had not signalled not to be alerted in case I leave them behind…

So all day long on trek I was receiving alerts…

I entered the address in FindMy & it didn’t change it so much.

I didn’t want to remove FindMy as it’s a key feature.

I made a test fully charged on a Sunday, the next Sunday everything flat at 0 without even using them.

So 300% of batteries gone…

I red on some thread that running down the batteries helped so I fully charge now and then Sunday to Sunday I had lost 11% on the case so like remaining 289% of batteries vs. loosing 300% before running them down in the same period of time.

Now that’s 9 days I am at 287%…

Was it running it down to 0 that did it or an update happened at the same time… no idea… but you can all try !!!

My case lose around 10-25% per night without using airpods.Went to service and after 1 day they replace the case with a new one.They said it's a case problem.

Do a factory reset o the airpods, unpair and pair again. Should fix it

Try fully reseting the airpods 2 and pair again. It should be fixed by now

I have done this many times but the problem insists.The only solution for stopping the case battery drain in to turn off the Find my Network.

I think this may be a software problem. I started to experience rapid battery drain on my first gen AirPods Pro case in the fall shortly after updating to iOS 16 A little over a week ago I got the second gen AirPods Pro and I’m already having the same issue on this brand new pair. Wouldn’t surprise me if the come out with a patch for it soon.

It's not normal, it's a big issue with the AirPods Pro 2nd Gen. I lose 18-20% a day even when not using them. I've also found it's not the case but the AirPods themselves that are draining and then the case is continuously charging them. I'm also on my 3rd pair of AirPods. I have to charge them every couple of days regardless if I use them or not.
