Late to this V.81 party, but hoping I didn't join it at all

Like the title says, I am rather late to this V.81 update (I only got it today, and immediately learned that it's already 4 months old). Honestly, I have nothing good to say about the update. I gues...
battery drain

    Hi Caradrash​ 🙂

    directly after the update I noticed a faster battery draining -  headset battery and the external battery -  for one or two days. Then it went back to the normal draining time.

    I don't say, it's the same for you.... but maybe wait a few days to see what happens.🤷‍♀️

Very late to the party. Most of us are on v83 by now. Sounds like you need a new battery.

    I highly doubt that I would need a new battery. Because the battery drain started yesterday when I got the V.81 update. The day before yesterday I was still on the V.79.xxx and did that 40 minute workout and still had over 50% battery left. So, the only thing that changed overnight was software update after which the battery drain started.

      Try fully powering off and on the headset. The regular restart after a software update doesn't always reset the headset properly.

        Thanks for the info Choleni​! That's at least a small glimpse of hope for the situation. 

        Need to see then how it stabilizes or if it continues to drain fast. 

        Also, hopefully I'd also soon get the latest update (can't understand how i could be many months behind on such updates, I even have automatic updates turned on (or at least the option was on when looking yesterday and can't remember that I'd have turned it off at any point)). Though based on numerous reports I've read about V.83 bricking quest 2, I'm also a bit fearful for it. Would just be my luck to also face that issue 🙃
