Extreme Battery Consumption: wOS 5.1.3 beta 3

I never had this happen before, battery life lost approximately 10% per hour today after full charge. Typically consumption is around 2% per hour. Anyone else having battery issues after watchOS 5.1.3 beta 3 / build 16S5535a and macOS 10.14.3 beta 4?

It only happend one day, never again. Must have been a stuck process.

Pretty consistently happening to me every day.

Betas (especially early in the cycle) & freaked out batteries, go together like saw blades and sawdust. Use one, you can bet on the other.

If you do see power/battery issues, please don't hesitate to install the Battery Life and sysdiagnose profiles, reproduce the high drain rate, then file a bug with a loose description of what you did throughout the day and your typical % (before updating to the newer build).


These types of issues are *really* helped by having detailed logs to investigate.


Thanks!
