Always On Display drains nearly 2% of battery per hour on my S24 Ultra. This is much higher than the S23 Ultra. Hopefully this will be fixed in an update?

Could be an app you have installed too...

Check what app is causing the drain, use the battery info in settings.

I had the same issue. It was my messages app. Forced closed it, cleared cache in storage, ran Galaxy app Booster from good guardians and it stopped it from draining overnight.

This helped me a lot. I already see less drain in the last 60 min.

OK was having the same issue and here is what I've done to make it slightly better.

1. Cleared System cache - by turning on holding "up vol + power" whilst connected to USB C laptop - didn't do much.

2. Boot into Safe Mode - by turning on whilst holding down "down vol + power" - this disabled all but basic apps, turn off airplane mode.  Had it in this safe mode for about 1hr to monitor and battery drain level seemed normal. Rebooted into normal mode and a few widgets (outlook calendar and a clock). Keyboard reset from Google to Samsung and now the battery level appears and heat seems to be "better", however according to "Battery Activity" it's predicting 100% charge to 0 in about 5.5hrs 😕

I'm guessing it's a rogue app or system UI draining battery which isn't showing in the Battery Activity app.

EDIT:

After posting this and using my phone a bit more, the fast battery drain and im down to 35% in 4.5 hrs

AOD works fine on base S24, but I don't have wallpaper display.  I only show the old style AOD.  Seems like Ultra is a battery hog.  My battery lasts more than one day and I am always on it.

2/6/24. I've had my Galaxy S24 for less than a week and this battery

dies so fast... Yes I have screen always on but that should be why it drains so fast.

iPhone has AOD/SOT as well and their batteries don't die like this. 

I switched from Apple to Android, this needs to be resolved causse I'm gonna be salty.

SUCCESS in stopping the battery drain due to a rogue app!!!

Here is how I found the app that was killing my CPU.

1. Enable GPUWatch (via developer mode) to show CPU graph
2. Open Settings / App Info and FORCE STOP each app.

I got to "1Password", force stopped it and CPU dropped 90%. I un-installed it as I wasn't using it. Strangely enough I hadn't used or opened that app. Anyway it is gone and CPU is hovering around 10-20% whilst idling.

Now, your app maybe different but go through the process to find which app maybe causing your battery drain.

Hope this helps others.

What do you mean by open settings/app info?
