I’m seeing high battery use with version 1.58.2. I’ve switched to full charging at night to get a better view of usage.

    I guess the most important metric is what is the absolute value of the battery drain and is that level acceptable?

    As an example on my end. On average I notice that Summit is using about 10-13% of my battery on a S24 per hour and i think that is an acceptable amount of battery usage given what i do within the app.

      That’s a good way of putting it.

      Last week I noticed that my phone needed to be charged before the end of the day. I was using Summit roughly the same amount as I used Sync before that. When I was using Sync, I didn’t need to charge my phone before the end of the day. That’s what prompted me to look at the battery usage chart.

        I see. Can you repeat this test with the latest version of the app. There were some performance improvements in the latest update.

          Sure thing. I’ll post today’s results with 1.58.2 - that’s the latest version I see on the Play store.

          Reddit and Summit were both in the foreground for about an hour.
