For those with Pixel 9 Pro on GrapheneOS, what is your battery life like? (lemmy.world)

Not sure if this is the correct place to ask, but I am using GOS on my 9 Pro and getting very mediocre SOT, like 5hrs. And that is WITH the following modifications:

Play Service has unrestricted battery for notifications
Everything else, if applicable, has restricted battery and no background network.

I have 2 profiles but only 1 is active, the Owner one. The secondary i rarely use and I make sure to "end session".

The main Owner profile runs default launcher, browser, some messaging apps, youtube, some google stuff, proton stuff. VPN is not on. Display is high res (lowest setting). Smooth display is off. All other stuff like wake on lift, tap to check, AOD...etc. are all OFF.

What is your SOT and what settings did you make?

The thing about battery life is that everyone's usecase is different. Go into your settings and see which apps and processes are using the most power and see if you can kill or uninstall them.

If you're not using Google Play Services, the apps may all be independently phoning their respective servers (because for some reason we can't all get behind UnifiedPush) and killing your battery.
