Apple Watch Ultra battery draining while on charge after updating to OS 10.1

After I update my Apple Watch Ultra software 30mins ago the battery keeps draining while the watch is on charge. It was on 80% and while on charge with the green bolt sign showing it’s dropped to 76%

I’ve tried restarting my Apple Watch Ultra and iPhone 15pro but the battery percentage still drops on my Apple Watch Ultra while on charge.

my iPhone 15pro software is up to date too with ios 17.1.

how to fix this. Please advice

I had the same issue with my Ultra 2! I saw on another string that Mobyface was the culprit. Rang true to me because I have that 3rd party app. I uninstalled it from my phone and watch and my battery draining issue went away!!! Hope this helps.

So you had Moby Face on your phone and never installed it?

Not that I remember ever doing. I have never used it.

Yes, happening to mine as well. (Ultra 2) Updated and it will not charge past about 80%. Discharges extremely fast. Drops to 15% in about 10 hours.

completely unacceptable!

please fix

My Ultra series 1 is still losing battery life…So much of this watch beating my 7 series

Yeah can confirm. Mine updated and now the charge and batt life is at an all time low

Yep. Same issue. Fully charged Ultra won’t even last the day.

It does make a lovely $1k paperweight.

Same here! I seemed to get about three ish days if I pushed it then it needed a charge now it seems like a day in a half or so I’m charging it. Something is seriously draining this thing!

Try putting your watch in low power mode while charging. It helped mine charge faster. It finally is back to 100% after 3.5hrs of charging. 😝 I also put an ice pack under it.
