S23 Ultra battery

[mark770]

As of the last week I seem to be seeing a significantly worse performance from my battery life. Today I had my phone fully charged at 9am and by 245pm it was down to 20%. Previously I had been getting around 23 hours

@mark770: That is certainly quite a steep dip in battery life over such a short period of time. If you head to Settings > Battery and device care > Battery, then tap on the usage graph, can you see any apps or features listed below that are using a higher than expected amount of battery?

Yeah Samsung Health app running at just over 32% currently 🤯

Try to help this by clearing it's cache in Settings > Apps > Samsung Health > Storage > Clear Cache @mark770

Great. Will give that a go thanks. Uninstalled it earlier in the week due to having sync issues with a 3rd part app and now ended up with this issue.

Have you any vampire apps ?? The apps that can discharge your battery faster than you can charge it.

Any suggestions on what to check please? Nothing new installed recently that remember

Facebook have admitted that their app eats batteries, but Instagram and streaming apps can do significant battery damage..
Wifi and Bluetooth if not used can be turned off, adaptive brightness, turn off and set it to a level that suits you. Also extra dim and dark mode helps.

I'll check those out and see how can reconfigure my settings. Something has happened when was all good prior to the last few days for sure. Thanks for the advice

Attached is usage for today so far. Absolutely appalling and clearly #samsunghealth is a big issue.
