I use an iPhone 15 IOS 17.4.1 and typically get about 3 hours with ABS 12% battery. This with local books only.

With a 10 day view I get 22 hours and 5% total battery drain. I don't know how Apple calculates these numbers :D

Note: On the road I use tailscale connection back to my server and then ABS and tailscale use crazy amount of battery. Still this has been calculated to my 10 days usage and still overall low.

Considering this is now an enhancement and not a bug, I don't think it should be a blocker for the ios app to come out of beta. (#541)

I'm trying to find some piece of information to understand why i'm out of juice so fast
I don't have knowledge in Xcode, then probably all of this can be wrong

I kept the app running, playing an audiobook in the background with the device on standby, and I got these data after 1 hour:

After 1 hour

Screenshot 2024-06-05 at 18 58 24

Look at the major problems: Overhead and the Network. In a 1-hour period, the gauge has always been in the Hard range.

Regarding the overhead, Apple says: Overhead represents energy use as a result of bringing up radios and other system resources your app needs to perform work.

Based on this, I activated the Network Inspector. Times in times, a POST request is sent to the session endpoint. I commented out the ReportProgress code just to check, and tried to run it again.

I notice that the Energy Usage gauge sometimes drops to Low, sometimes goes to High, but generally stays on the Low

Can this be marked as complete? I’ve got zero issues with battery after checking battery usage.
