It's all the AI crap. Seriously, disable all the AI on your phone and your battery will last 2 full days.

This is so true, and it's unbelievably frustrating. I used to be able to get through an entire day with significant use on my Pixel 9 Pro XL and get home with still about 45 percent battery left and now I'm lucky if I'm above 10 percent before I begin my drive home.

Google really needs to get this in check or it's going to become unusable and impractical for me.
