I keep having my phone completely drained of battery over night, and im not sure why… Each night the phone will easy chew through 30-40% battery. Only thing that helps is putting it in battery saving mode. But feels like a temporary solution.

The second most used app is at 7% percent usage.

Am running GrapheneOS, anyone else struggling with this?

    I’m on Graphene too and I once read that the modems used in Pixel phones are pretty trashy and drain a ton of battery. If I filter my battery usage by system, it shows that network standby almost consumes half of my battery charge (~46%).

    Maybe the other guy here is right and it’s a VPN issue (too)? idk. Anyway, I didn’t really found a solution for this except leaving my phone on airplane mode at night.

    It’s a known issue with tailscale. It drains my battery pretty bad as well. I had to opt for wireguard for remote access instead.

    After checking on tailscale privacy policy, I also suggest to drop tailscale and use mullvadvpn if you live in EU or US (it is great) or protonvpn. You can install WG Tunnel from F-Droid and add wireguard configuration from your VPN provider as well. It is consume only 1-3% during the day on my device.

      It’s not comparable. Tailscale creates a virtual network between your devices allowing to reach your server outside your home while other mentioned services create a virtual network to someone else’s server
