I haven't noticed a thing on my Pixel 9 Pro running GrapheneOS.

so it isn't just me??! i'm on grapheneOS, but I also feel like my battery went to shit sometime mid march. it also started taking forever to charge from 77% up to 80 with battery optimization enabled
Same. I feel like google just decided fast charging is no longer a thing. Charging from 49-77% will take 25~ mins then 77-80% will take 30+ mins. I'm having to walk around with a battery pack now. Horrible update.
apparently that was a change to prolong battery life: https://www.androidauthority.com/google-pixel-charging-optimization-77-percent-3648012/

This behavior is related to the 80% Charge Limit feature. In the current software build, the device charges at normal speeds until it reaches approximately 77%, at which point it transitions to a lower current to reach the final 80% limit.
While this may result in slower charging speeds near the limit, it is intended to manage battery health and should not impact normal device usage. We are currently working on optimizing this user experience
Oh yeah I noticed the lower charging current when using a wireless charger. That battery pack goes a little crazy when it switches over. I just hate that fast charging is effectively gone now and the estimated time remaining till full charge is more unreliable than ever.
My Pixel 10 rarely got below 45% battery prior to the update. It's now sitting at 28% after a day's light use.
Graphene on 8Pro, I have this issue as well. If I don't plug the phone in overnight it is dead the next morning. I used to get through a second day.
Wait, you mean I upgraded from my Pixel 6 Pro over a battery drain bug? And I thought its battery was finally toast!
Interesting. I haven't noticed any change, but it is possible I haven't been paying enough attention because I don't use my phone when I'm sititng in front of PC.
I'm running GrapheneOS on Pixel 8 and my battery usually last around 4 days. It could probably last longer if Element (Matrix) wasn't running all the time on the background.
Nothing I've really noticed on my stock Pixel 6 Pro. It mostly sits on my desk getting used for Anki about 40 minutes a day, the odd message view when I'm away from my desk, and getting charged each night (with the battery manager on so 80% until a bit before I wake up).
I've just been having an issue where one of about 6 apps keeps running in the background even when it's set to not run in the background. It'll eat about 20% of my battery in an hour and a half and I'll have to force close the app. I usually notice because my phone will be in my pocket and it starts getting very warm.
Stock pixel 8 BTW.
