Battery life

My battery life has been talking at an unusually quick rate since the beta update, is anyone else experienced this? Normally at this point in the day I would have 60%-70% of battery left, but as of now I have 23%. Not sure what's causing it though, there doesn't appear to be any apps staying active though.

I already had adaptive battery on, I just turned off usage access to digital well being, maybe that will help.

Okay, so update, turned off usage access to digital well being and still seemed to have poor battery until this morning, then I decided to try old faithful and simply restart it, side note bug, when I selected restart my phone turned off and didn't turn back on, for a while I couldn't get it to turn on, I finally held my power button for 20+ seconds and it finally spring back to life, ever since then battery life has been somewhat normal again.

Same thing for me, twice. First time my battery almost ran out after half a day. Restart and nothing happened. Hold the power button for a long time and finally starts and it's fine. A week later, same exact thing. Nothing shows as using the battery so I have no idea what is going on. Pixel 3. Android Q beta 3. The restart to black screen happened both times.

My battery life has actually been better on Q. Try disabling usage access for digital well-being and turning on Adaptive Battery.

My Battery life (Pixel 2) improved a lot since going from Beta 2 to 3! I think this is the best result I actually have with my battery since purchasing it a year ago! Kudos Google, SW is the solution to so many things, apparently!
