I'm not sure what has changed but my phone battery life has dropped significantly recently.
I have a Moto G8 plus running Android 10 with the latest Macrodroid and helper version 13 (I did update from an earlier version of the helper recently)
In the past Macrodroid has hardly registered in the battery usage list but it's now at the top with over 10% listed which is more that goggle play services!!
Prior to the change I was getting over 2 days battery life. Recently I was getting less than a single day.
I've not made any changes to the macros.
So the diagnostic steps I've taken
1. removed the helper app. result still appeared to be high usage.
2. reinstalled helper app and re-booted phone. result still high usage.
3. force stopped Macrodroid and reopened it.
This appeared to help for a while (back to roughly 2 days life) but now the graph is tilting down again and Macrodroid is at the top of the list again.
I have another Moto phone (G13 with Android 13) and even after some time Macrodroid doesn't even appear in the usage list.
I have a Samsung tablet (running Android 13) which also shows no battery usage.
So my question is-
What has changed to make Macrodroid use so much battery and more importantly what can I do to fix this to how it was before?
I think I updated from version 10 of the helper app but as step 1 above seems to discount the helper being the cause.
What other diagnostic steps can I take short of re-installing Macrodroid and starting again?
TIA
