Battery Drained - App Store Background Activity

I know that the last thing that the Apple Support community needs is another battery complaint, however, this case seems to be different then any others I have seen on here and I am completely baffled.


Just within the last 48 hours, my phone has been draining battery quicker then normal. I have not modified any specific settings that would have affected this. I have been keeping an eye on what the Battery settings has stated has been using my battery the most.


I just now noticed that after only being awake for 4 hours today (with hardly any phone use as I am at work) my battery is at 18% already and the phone feels warm.


Some more background: My work doesn't have a wifi network for us to use (sh*t I know) so I have heavily manipulated which apps use data because I frequently go over my data plan 4-5 times a month (AT&T *****)....anyway. I have cellular data turned off for the App Store app, yet, when I checked my Battery usage today to see what happened to drain my battery so quickly, it showed 4.2 hours of background usage.


I have tried soft-resetting my phone, and am likely going to try restoring it later today, however nothing seems to helping.

I am really trying to avoid going to the Apple Store to get it checked out since the mall is about the last place on earth I want to be right now.


Any suggestions?

iPhone 6, iOS 9.2
