Is Limiting Background Activity for Google Play Services Play Services Okay? - Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers

Hi All,
I wrote another thread about battery life and I am happy to report it stabilized. I am averaging 4-5 hours of SOT with ~18 hours of total battery. But it does appear the idle drain is more than it appears. Not neccesarily looking for battery advice but rather feedback on limiting background services for Google Play Services, Google, and the Play Store with the App setting menuwill have unwanted effects on my phone?

I think it's OK to limit background activity of Google Play Store. Google Play Services is one another story though, I think.
EDIT: It seems to be acceptable to limit Services background activity. Check the link below.

Oreo limit background data

So after updating to 8.0 I notice that android system and google play services are draining a lot of my battery. I did notice that with those two, the option to limit background activity is not checked and we have the option to do so. has anyone tested this out and see if there are any drawbacks/gains?
i believe there was a thread about this on reddit about having the wrong version of google play services that is reason for the battery drain, can't really look for the thread now as i'm supposed to be working.

Alternate of Google services?

So there are news of Google collecting Location Even With GPS Turned Off. But I was really thinking to abort using google services not because of this location tracking but also battery draining from google's wakelock which a serious issue to me as no matter what rom am i using playstore will always drain battery ... So i am thinking to go different alternative service i need maps so obviously i use google maps alot but i need its alternate app and same follow with sync service ( i can adjust it to manual no problem ) but i need those services which will not drain my battery and seriously those secret tracking services. If you want to make fun go away. If any dev or group can make alternate google services pls response here . I could be beta tester.
There is already a project that goes along what you want. Search for microg (I think it's called) it limits the Google services and uses alternatives for others.
Here is the issue you will find. Android is made to use Google services and without it, a lot of things just will not work completely right. Like location based services.

Alternative to Google Maps?

Considering that Google Maps on Honor Note 10 with Chinese ROM does not save the history of places, which app could I install instead of remaining active in the background and that monitors my movements day by day without consuming too much battery?
Thanks

Google Play Services wakelocks and battery life

Hello,
Does anybody manage Google Play Services wakelocks to increase battery life?
I have seen threads in other devices forums but they're a bit old.
Is it pointless with our device?

Google Play Services Battery drain OSS 9.0.8

Hello folks,
since a few weeks i'm having huge battery drain which most likly is from google play services.
I installed better battery stats to check the wakelocks.
According to the settings google play services is taking 23% of my battery which is way to much.
The top kernel wakelock is PowerManagerService.WakeLocks with 14,7% (see screenshots).
The top process is logd but i already disabled this process by renamaing the logd file in system/bin.
In WLD google play services triggers 1250 times.
I don't really know what to do it really sucks. The strange thing is that play services is not draining my battery every day.
Sometimes it doesn't affect my battery and sometimes it does.
Can someone help me with this?
Greetings,
Th1rsty

I'm using play services 19.0.56 don't know if this version is also affected :/
I'm using the latest beta version from apkmirror and have no enormous battery drain with that.
I disabled logd process and installed oxyTweaker and for now it seems to be fixed.
I'll keep you updated.
