Ok so i noticed this the other night...
If I just leave my phone unplugged and go to bed, i can get up to 8% battery drop overnight.
The other night, i put my phone on charge before bed and went to sleep. I woke up in the night, while awake i noticed the green light that my phone is charged. So I unplugged it (didn't touch anything else)
When I then woke up like 6 hours later, my phone had only dropped 1%
So why does it drain soo much more if not on charge first? And does anyone else have the same thing?
Do you have Stamina mode enabled? If you have it enabled it will freeze and terminate internet connections for non white listed apps. When charging, Stamina mode is disabled. It might be some app is not playing well with Stamina mode if it is enabled. Check it.

I did leave my phone unplugged overnight with few than 3% drop
I never have stamina mode on.
But i actually did the same last night as my little one woke up with a nose bleed in the middle of the night, and now 8 hours on it'd only dropped 1%. Tonight I'm gonna not charge it and just leave it and see what drop it gets.

I get something similar but much more drain, about 20% cell standby was the culprit, I am guessing the mobile signal strength not being the best is causing the phone to hunt for signal. When out and about drain nowhere near as bad.

I cannot understand why my phone shows battery full when it reaches 96%.
I also tried with a wipe with no results.
Ideas?

I must be blind... I'll have a look for the third time
Thx
from what i've read it does that to preserve your batery. if the baterry is charged to 100% and then discharges to 0%, doing that will affect your baterry life so by not charging to 100% your batery is going to last longer.

[BUG] Full Charge Oddity, Charge to 100%, Unplug to 97%
Same issue Reported on March 7th by me
kenvan19 said:
I'm having some even more strange battery performance. So over the past couple days my phone has charged to 97% then stopped charging. By that, I don't mean that it started discharging but rather it stopped showing any indication of charging and stayed at 97%. To try and see what was going on I decided to "calibrate" my battery. I absolutely killed it yesterday and plugged it in over night. This morning when I woke up, it was at the usual 97% so I unplugged and replugged it back in. I left it for a few hours and came back and booted it up to find it was at 98%. Odd because it charged from 30% to 97% the other night in 2.5 hours. So I powered it off again and checked back another few hours later. This time it had dropped to 97%. What the hell is going on here. I've decided to forego the calibrating and just see what the hell happens when I leave it on and plugged in. Its currently back at 98%
According to battery graph it did hit 100% about 2 hours ago for about 10 minutes then dropped back down to 98%. I'm completely baffled here...
So it hit 99% and stopped charging. Again, its not just saying fully charged, it actually is acting as though it is unplugged yet not discharging battery...Roger please help lol

So I plugged my GN in last night and stayed up late enough to see it reach 100%, but I left it charging all night. When I woke up this morning, the lock screen said Charged but my battery widget said 97%. This has happened a few times and every time I can fix it by just unplugging it and plugging it back in. Anyone know why it does this? Could it be because I get lots of emails at night and the LED running all night decreases the battery a little? Thanks!
I think it stops charging when it reaches 100%, therefore the 3% may be lost during that time. This is a good thing, because a laptop, or anything else, eventually the battery will go bad. When you unplug it, then plug it back in, it can cause that battery to go bad faster. Again, I think this is it. My phone seems to do that. I would not worry about it though.
Hello,
I bought this phone a month ago. At first the battery lasted quite well, I got around 5 hours of screen time with battery life to spare. Unfortunately, about 2 weeks ago I accidentally left the phone under my pillow and fell asleep on it- causing it to overheat a tad bit (I woke up 3 hours later and it was very warm to the touch and had turned off). After charging it up, I continued to use it normally but noticed that the battery would drain a little bit quicker than normal. Before I could easily go around 10 hours with heavy use and have 40% battery left, now after 10 hours it's left with about 15-20%. I am a heavy user but I haven't properly checked how much screen time I'm getting now, however I'll update that later.
As for the main problem- last night I charged my phone before sleeping (100%) and when I woke up in the morning it was turned off. I turned it on only to see that my battery had drained to 0% while on standby all night- whereas overnight I usually only lose around 2-3% battery.
After charging my phone up for 15 minutes- the battery level again returned to 100%. I only charge my phone through my laptop via USB. What happened here? Is my battery deteriorating? Should I get the phone replaced? I would appreciate any input on the matter. Thanks.
Also I've attached the screenshots showing how my battery died and how it was quickly restored. Can someone explain this occurrence?

Your sudden battery drop has nothing to do with what happened before.
Several people already mentioned this sudden battery drop as you can read in this thread, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2545553 and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2678909
No reason to return your device, its a know issue.
Drain your battery completly then charge your phone to 100%, turn the phone one and leave it to charge a hour more. Essentialy you have to recalibrate your battery.
So a brief update regarding SOT.
I left home with 90% charge this morning. Used the phone for 8 hours and it went down to 20% - granted, with heavy use.
Got 4.5 hours of SOT. Is this about average? imo I feel like this falls a bit below average. Ill check other threads as well and compare, but as far as I know, I feel like I should be getting a *little* more juice out of my phone. Data connection was on throughout, and some games were played and pictures taken.
Anyone else feel like they're getting sub-par use out of their battery?
*screenshots provided.
- checked the other threads, looks like ~5 hrs SOT is the most this phone puts out?
Same here.
Are there any news from Motorola?

According to the battery usage screen, about 15% of the battery has been used. And yet, it's in freefall. At 34% I got a low battery warning saying the battery would only last another three hours, even though it was dropping about 1% a minute.
Just randomly happened today. Left it unplugged overnight with Sleep as Android running, woke up to about 70% battery, started browsing on Chrome and Talon for Twitter, and 15 minutes later I had 20% battery. Plugged it in, got it back up to 75%, had to go out. Felt it get hot, checked, saw it was still dropping dramatically. Turned it off, left it to cool, turned it back on, and it continued dropping.
I had it turned off for a while to cool down after I'd plugged it in, as well.
Battery Usage does list Sleep as using 22% battery, but that's since the last full charge so I assume includes what it did overnight, which jives with having a percentage in the 70s when I awoke. Talon, Chrome, Facebook, TiBu, and a couple of other apps are listed as using 1-2% of the battery. That's it.
WTF is going on?

I think the battery might need to be replaced...after I charged my phone to 100% and then reboot, it will show 69% or 70% after the reboot -_-|. Also when the battery % drops down below 50%, my phone could switch off anytime - and then when I switch it on again, the battery is like 1%. I am using this phone as a backup just to receive messages so I don't mind it too much. If you use it as a main phone maybe it is time to upgrade to a newer model...the battery on regular Pixels were not so good even when new...
When the phone is off charge it to 100% then use it until it dies completly, then try to start it couple of times(it should just show a battery low icon or turn off while booting). Then charge it to 100% again while turned off.
This should pretty much reset the electronics in the phone. If it still does it replace the battery.
P.S.: Also look at the phone from the sides to see if you notice any glass poping (just in case the battery has started to expand)
Is anyone experiencing a battery drain even though your S22 Ultra is switched off? I'm experiencing 4% drain every hour. 32% when every night when I sleep with my phone turned off.
I turn on power saving and extra dim using the bixby routine for the period that I'm in bed sleeping. It loses 1-2% ph
If you don't mind, can you try turning off your phone for the night and see how much battery percentage it loses? Mine went from 32% to flat 0% by morning. I had not realised this until recently. I tested in the morning by turning off my phone for an hour, it went from 60 to 54%. That's like 6% in an hour. But if I keep it on standby , it'll be 1% down in an hour. It's the turning off that is causing problems.
I know some laptops will drain battery power after shut down, but phone?
Exy or Snap?
Try checking in details with a battery monitoring app (e.g. GSam) to see what is/ are the culprit(s).
Also take a look at here for some useful tips.
It's strange that a lot of battery drain when phone is completly off.
In my opinion it's short circuit or battery is fault.
If phone is normal on are you see too battery drain?
When phone is switched off battery shouldn' experience any drain, or at least any noticeable drain in a short period.
Remember, when you bought your phone it came with battery half charged, and that was probably months after it was assembled and sealed in its package..
You should take your phone to a service or replace it, if possible
maybe somewhere on the PCB there is a short circuit. I ran into the same problem when using Xiaomi Mix 3 11 months ago.
