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?

    No idea about those, but wireguard and openvpn were terrible for battery life, only ever used if I needed to access something at home

            Nah don’t see that being factor, the small Mikrotik is handling it very well for my small homelab, and pfsense was running on stupidly overkill 8c16t / 32gb memory because didn’t have any more fitting hardware at that point

            Edit: the huge battery drain was on phone, with VPN client
