Anyone else experiencing battery drain after updating to 15.0.1?

I checked battery usage and the only thing that ran in the background for 3 minutes was the Home app.

No battery drain at all--but I also always do a fresh install of every OS release.
 
Try a forced restart and see if it’s any better, something might be working/stuck processing in the background.
 
DON’T FORCE RESTART

Give it a few days then see. Maybe try a restore
 
Why not force restart?
Oh boy there is a whole thread created by LFC2020 regarding the 13 Pro Max battery % indicator getting stuck when restarted after updating to 15.0.1. This appears to affect a few people, and the only work around is to do a restore from backup. Its hard to gauge whether its the Pro Max battery being so good that it takes forever to drain, or if a real bug.

I think nothing bad would happen, but nothing will be fixed either. Try a DFU restore if you really want to be sure to wipe clean and make a clean install. Hard reboots don’t usually fix anything

They fix something if it’s stuck working or syncing in the background… It does no harm, doesn’t take more than a minute and can save the need to do a full reset and restore.
 
15.0.1 actually somewhat fixed my battery issues. It’s still not as good as others are reporting but on iOS 15 I lost my 16% overnight one time, now I lose 4%. 13 pro max

But a reboot should fix those too

Anyway I did on mine, thought I triggered the famous bug of the thread, then realised it's not a bug but intentional by Apple. So yeah you can hard reboot, hope you fix something even if I don't think it'll happen
 
Nope. On 15.0.1 and averaged around 6.5 hours of battery life.

13 pro max, on iOS 15 there was 0-1% drain overnight but iOS15.0.1 drained 4-5% overnight. Something must be off and eating up all the battery while idle.
 
definitely battery drain, check app usage, disable useless background/location services

make sure the phone reception is decent and 5G is on auto
