Apple Ultra Watch 9.3 update battery drain (bleeding out)

That's fine and you're welcome. I'm not sure what you have to disagree with, however? I don't have any battery drain. No one I know personally, who owns Apple Watch Ultra is having battery drain issues, and I know several who own an Ultra. You have however have battery drain issues. If it was caused by the update, why you and maybe a few others, but not the majority of owners? If it was a majority issue, this thread and forum would be flooded with posts. But when you consider Apple has likely millions of Ultra watches and this is the most visited forum on Apple Watch in the world, one would expect this thread to be overflowing with people complaining. But it's not overflowing. That doesn't make light of your issue. But you're going to have to do something about the issue as waiting for or hoping Apple is going to magically release something which addresses this is not likely going to happen.

Thanks for the suggestion but I do not have optimized battery level turned on. I never have. I simply take the watch off the stand in the morning and by the evening it is at aroune 28% battery level. Sometimes a bit higher. My day usually consist of about an hour workout and then usual stuff like, sitting, walking, but nothing else using the watch. every now a then, days apart maybe use maps when driving but not often. discontinued cellular to the watch. All these things are normal to what I was doing before all of a sudden seeing this massive battery drain issue. Again, I have tried 3 different watches, (2 series 4 and 1 Ultra). That is the reason why I upgraded to the the Ultra, because I was seeing excessive battery drain on my Series 4. I thought it was just old. Now I see there is a bigger issue at hand.

Crazy. This was easily the best battery life I ever had before this update. Dont know if its the phone or watch update or both but it has clearly messed something up for some users. I barely do anything with either devise in terms of apps or anything that would use excessive battery. I'm trying the reset now. Will report back when done.

Me too, I just updated the watch this morning and now my battery is dead!! How can I solve this I really have ni idea

Did you take it in? I have a brand new watch and battery as per everyone else. Ie if no update soon I will request a new watch

Well I don't want to speak too soon but my battery life is vastly improved. It's still used 41% in 24hrs, but that's a great deal better than it was.

Good ... but doing all of the workarounds mentioned does not resolve the isue.

It stays a faulty update from Apple and its by no meaning that we customers resolve a problem wich they created.

Your device has the problem, not the update, otherwise we would all have it.

LD150 is absolutely correct. If this was an issue caused by Apple, we'd all have it. I have absolutely no battery drain issue on my Apple Watch Ultra. NONE.

Thanks my friend. I think you meant to say in your last sentence DON'T need it.

Meant that NordVPN sell it over here in England as though iphones need it but they don't need it.

British sarcasm like innit 🙃

Bonnet - Boot!! LOL

You're welcome

Whatever it might be said. Apple has taken care of a very big bug with this update.

You would already get shivers to receive the next update in the coming days or weeks..

There is no evidence of a bug.
