P7 owners, how do I get decent battery life? (lemmy.ml)

I can't for the figure out how to get more than 3 hours of SOT. My battery is at a 100% health according to accubattery, and it was just replaced a few weeks ago so the battery is for sure good.

Whenever I check accubattery, it'll give me a claim of how a full charge should give me 9 hours of SOT, but 3 hours later my battery is at 20% or lower. I add up the usage per app and it doesn't add up.

I've got adaptive battery, adaptive connectivity, and adaptive charging turned on. I'm only using LTE since my carrier doesn't do 5G either way. I'm usually at 50%-80% unless I'm out in the sun. I've tried resetting the learned behavior for adaptive battery as well, but that hasn't changed anything.

It's not even like my units defective because the one I bought first had a defective fingerprint sensor and had the same battery life.

Give me your secrets people, I just want my phone to last me the day.

Easy assuming you're on the latest update, June and onward fixed my battery issues for me personally. Standard base model Pixel 7 here.

Place all apps that don't need to notify you RIGHT AWAY into restricted power mode!

Settings > Battery > Battery Usage > click on each app that doesn't need to give you instant notifications and make sure to change the ones you can from optimized to restricted.

If you're using Revanced YouTube like I do personally, MAKE SURE to disable MicroG (the app used to authenticate Google login services), it WILL run in the background and drain battery, YouTube itself is fine to leave as you use it. (Optimized is how I have mine)

By disable do you mean uninstall? Or do I just put it in restricted?

Restricted.
