What happened?

Just noticed it today - almost 50 percent of the battery gone in a bit more than 3 hours...
iOS battery stats show the Audiobookshelf is responsible.

If was perfectly ok with the previous iOS version (18.6.2).

I'll try to use an alternative client (SoundLeaf) to check if it helps.

What did you expect to happen?

Expected to see a normal battery usage.
