so while I'm getting excellent battery life, I can definitely confirm I haven't been using my phone non-stop since it was unplugged. Looking at the limited resources iOS gives into battery usage, any ideas what's constantly running. I've reset the phone and "closed" the apps out of the multitasking drawer. Any thoughts or am I looking at a factory reset?

Nothing looks odd to me.
 
Is there anything in Location Services that you haven't checked. Allowing apps to use LS when they don't really need to be can mean LS services is often running. That can be a battery killer.

That's where I thought it might have been too but everything looks normal haha. It's quite weird
 
Clearly something is running in the background. Have you done a hard reset by holding home button and the power button simultaneously until apple logo appears? You might want to do that and fully charge your phone.
 
I notice that your usage and standby time match, and that is definitely a problem. That usually indicates an issue, that is only resolved by restoring. I have seen reset settings fix it on occasion, but usually a restore is necessary.

I had this the other day, normally you can see what is causing the issue but nothing is showing up. I done a hard reset and the problem continued. It wasn't until after I reset my network setting that it starting to work correctly again
 
If it works don't fix it.
The problem is, it isn't working correctly....Usage and Standby time should never match, unless there is an issue.
Even if you take the phone off the charger and never unlock it, it still shouldn't match, because there is usually something running in the background such as mail, weather, etc.

If battery lasts as long as it should on average then it's just a cosmetic bug and you will waste much more time with factory reset to fix it. Just wait for the next update which just might fix it since it does all kinds of things when update is applied. Cleans cache etc.

Just a hard reset will fix it. I have had that happen before on 2 different iPhones, and a hard reset cured it once and for all.
