iPhone 12 Pro 12 Pro / Max Night battery drain [Merged]

. Beta isn’t for meI found that in my case the idle battery drain was caused by the Bluetooth connection to Apple Watch. If I simply switch off Bluetooth of the watch, it goes from 1~2% per hour to less than 0.5% per hour, with everything else on (LTE, WiFi, phone Bluetooth, mail fetch & background refresh).
It won’t be here for a while, and all the time your battery is degrading.I think I will wait fo the 14.4 public non beta release. Beta isn’t for me
Yea, I know but beta usually includes other bugs and I just want a phone that works. Maybe I will start charging my phone at night, then I don’t have so see this drain
Yes, for over a week and it's repeatable. Even in the hours during the day when I don't use the phone much, turning off bluetooth on watch improves phone standby. But I guess everyone's situation can be different.
After two months of buying tonight for the first time my iphone 12 mini lost 15% in 6 hours! It usually stopped at 4-6%.A very bad unexpected news!
iOS 14.2.1
I think I have found my drain issue. In network settings I had chosen 4G and some days ago I change it to 5G auto and my standbydrain was gone. Now I am at 4-5% every night

I do not believe this stories about indexing. I never ever had these problems with battery drain (since 2007) on any iPhone. iPhone 12 (mini) and iOS 14.x are just not a happy marriage.

I updated last night and tonight I only had 3% drain over 7 hours but I think I need some more testing before I believe it
After a very bizarre 100% battery drain overnight, this hasn't happened again after a complete erase of the phone, started new. The drain I have can be 5%, 1%, or 0%...it's a bit erratic.
Question, I do see SIRI running at various times as I sleep in the background overnight, why is that? Could be "1 minute" total at times it could be 1 min each hour. I'm not using Siri, I'm sleeping. 🤔
(Tile is the one app that needs to be open at all times which seems to cause a tiny drain right now)

Seeing exactly the same here.
Drained about 6% here last night. I used to see 0%...
Other thing I’ve noticed is that when waking up the screen the solid location icon is present for a few seconds which wasn’t the case prior to update. Most if not all of my location switches are off.
I am convinced this is a bug with some overnight process.
During the day yesterday, my iPhone 12 Pro sat on standby at 100% with no drain for 6 hours. Overnight it drained 6%. Airplane Mode was on the entire time, no other changes.

I totally agree with you. I’ve been leaving my phone off the charger overnight, I’ve said it above. I could have 4, 3, or even 0% drain (which was the case the past 2 nights) even after sleeping for 9 1/2 hours..still woke up on Sat. to 100% battery which was a shock.
But overnight Mon into Tues. (today) was 9%! (Huh!!?) 91% when I woke up at 7am. Nothing in the battery graph shows anything new or odd. The numbers are all over the place
Still would love to know why Siri randomly runs in the background. I was dead asleep between 4-5am.
Tile...I would love kill this app, but it has to run. (*The day I turn this off, will be the day I misplace my wallet - with the think Tile "credit card sized" BT device inside it.)
*I may grab 1...maybe 2 AirTags when they go on Pre-Order, I really need one of those for my keys.

Might have been getting some content updates or something. It was active for 1m in the background. Doesn’t look like it had a measurable impact on your phone.
I haven’t noticed any issues with standby drain on my 12PM. I usually charge at night but at my parents house there isn’t an outlet near the bed so I charge during the day. Never wake up to a low battery
