Significant increase in battery consumption in recent days

Thanks for that @Endercraft but I've not used adb before. Probably a daft question but I have a number of financial apps on my phone and they will not function on a rooted or modified phone. I take it that simple use of adb will not cause problems?

Adb doesn't need root. Your apps will work just fine (you might need to disable developer option after for some apps to work).

Ok so I've installed adb on my PC and I'm seeing an authorised device. I sent the grant permission and didn't get any error so I assume it worked?
I created a macro with the dumpsys action and saved the output to a string. I got "no_cached_wake_locks=true" Is that what was expected?

You can run dumpsys power only and post the output here, the last part of first command should've extractee the wakelocks.

From what I can see, at the time you ran the command it seems that there were no wakelocks held. I don't have time to read every line fight now though.

Maybe reduce your screen timeout. Settings > display > screen timeout.

I use MacroDroid to disable accessibility services at night along with MacroDroid categories and individual macros when not in use.

Thanks but screen time is not the problem.

Something has changed that is causing Macrodroid to use significantly more battery %age than it did previously.

Previously Macrodroid was a very small user of power (and still is on another of my phones) but it is proving hard to pin down.

There have been a few minor updates in the last few days, have you got them?

Are there any errors in your logs in the green MacroDroid tile?

Are you using geofence in macros?

If so, try disabling the macros or the category if all such macros are in it.

Check MD usage over 24 hours.

Has it gone down?

Hi there @dhj49er, As I've mentioned earlier I have no geofence triggers so it's not that.
And the diagnostics don't appear to show any wake lock problems.
So it's a mystery at the moment what is causing the increased drain.

Have you tried saving all your macros ( via export) and then deleting all the macros, to see if the increased battery consumption is still present?

If the increased consumption is not present, it would suggest to me that a macro(s) is the likely cause.

Yes I've noticed significantly reduced battery life in recent days and Macrodroid is the top consumer at over 19% today. My phone usage hasn't changed .

Between better battery life and the significantly reduced battery life, has any of the following happened:-

Has the phone had an update?
Have you installed updates of any apps?
Have you changed any phone settings?

If the answer to all is no, then I would reset the phone by power off.

On the restart, disable MD. Let the phone run long enough to see the battery life, it should be back to better. If not, something other than MD is causing the reduced battery life.

If battery life is better, enable MD and check the battery life.

If the significantly reduced battery life is observed I would run MD with no macros. Make sure you save (export) your macros, so after this test can import them.

With no macros what is the battery life?

In my experience resetting the phone is usually sufficient to correct a bad system setting or a misbehaving app.

Just for comparison
I have Galaxy S23 running Android 13.
In battery usage list of apps, MD is 13th from the top with 0.7% for the current session - battery charged 16 hours ago, with 63% battery used , 7hrs SOT and 8hrs of deep sleep.

Thanks. It's difficult to recall what MD's battery use used to but it just always seems to be at the top now, with double figure % usage by the end of the day. In my software developer days we used to be able to run a trace to find cpu 'hotspots' in the code. I feel there must be one of my macros that has a hotspot but I guess the only way to discover this is to have only one running at a time. Pretty laborious.

Update :
Yesterday I backed up all macros and deleted and reinstalled MD. That didn't seem to help.

Today I've disabled ALL macros but kept MD enabled - it shouldn't be doing anything. But already it's the top battery consumer at 3.4%, 2 hours since the last full charge. I've had the app open only very briefly.

Something is definitely wrong somewhere!

But it's my favourite app so I'd love a solution please.

Thank you
