iPhone X flashlight battery usage without open it

The built in battery monitor shows that flashlight uses 6-7% of the battery without turning it on for a second. It won’t increase or decrease, just constantly there for days now.

What is this?

I'm pretty sure it is a bug that does not affect everyone but I have seen a few other people complaining about the same issue. There are 2 different attention features, 1 is Require attention for Face ID to unlock your iPhone, the other is the one is Attention Aware Features that checks to see if your looking at the phone before dimming the display or lowering alert volume. The latter is the one I turned off and it fixed my problem. It is defiantly some bug with the TrueDepth camera that I'm sure Apple will fix soon. I'm an Apple Consultant so I know quite a bit more than an average user and calling Apple support will not help if Apple has not said anything about this issue publicly because the support guys will not know about it.
