Hi there, I've encountered something which strikes me as odd, but I don't know if it's just a characteristic of the high power the headset draws
I've noticed that if I sit and watch the battery life and keep checking the clock, it's actually draining at roughly 1% per minute - no apps open, just on the home screen. I was wondering if anybody else could confirm if their headset does this? (my headset is brand new also, only a few days old/played) - I also have been taking it off charge at the green light at it has been at 97-98%.
I worked out that at this rate - I'll have under 2 hours play time, even if I'm doing absolutely nothing, nevermind if I'm playing high graphic games that take a lot from the battery.
Here's a video I sent to Meta Support showing exactly what happens:

Ps. I've heavily researched and applied the obvious power saving options - i.e Screen Brightness at 0%, Powered Completely off, Not leaving it on charge overnight etc. The battery decrease is happening when I am doing absolutely nothing.
Any help is appreciated thanks!

Hi ChrisJMerchants
I just got my new Quest 2 as well and I am experiencing the same thing. My battery is draining quickly in sleep mode too 1-2% a hour. I have disabled the auto wake feature but I haven't tried brightness at 0% thanks for that tip. I have made a topic as well too. I'm hoping someone can give us some suggestions. I don't think this high battery drainage is normal.

How do you set brightness to 0%?

I mean, if it's being used or sitting on standby the battery is for sure going to drain. This is also true for a device that is 100% charged and 100% off.
If it's losing 1-2 per hour without use, how much does it lose while using? How quickly does the battery drain every hour when you're in game?

That is an absolute normal behaviour. Mine does it too since I have the device.
