Q: 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

    Before and after removing Wells Fargo App.  Battery holding strong now and not feeling like a hot iron in my pocket.

    HI.

     

    Just some  more feedback from my side.

     

    i Don't have Fargo Wells App, and this problem has been going on for me for a year and a half. . Well before I got my Apple Watch 1 so I don't think those 2 things are the problem.

     

    my trick is that after  a restore I wait about a month before I update any apps. That way my phone works fine. But once I update I need to commit a couple of hours to backig up and restoring cause the App Store doesn't stop background activity and phone heats up like crazy. One month I actually got lucky and it didn't get affected. But when I used to just update apps as they needed it would happen sometimes every few days. And I tracked which apps caused it but it was always a different app. Once I thought it was Dropbox but still happened after deleting it and restoring
