P7 owners, how do I get decent battery life? (lemmy.ml)

I can't for the figure out how to get more than 3 hours of SOT. My battery is at a 100% health according to accubattery, and it was just replaced a few weeks ago so the battery is for sure good.

Whenever I check accubattery, it'll give me a claim of how a full charge should give me 9 hours of SOT, but 3 hours later my battery is at 20% or lower. I add up the usage per app and it doesn't add up.

I've got adaptive battery, adaptive connectivity, and adaptive charging turned on. I'm only using LTE since my carrier doesn't do 5G either way. I'm usually at 50%-80% unless I'm out in the sun. I've tried resetting the learned behavior for adaptive battery as well, but that hasn't changed anything.

It's not even like my units defective because the one I bought first had a defective fingerprint sensor and had the same battery life.

Give me your secrets people, I just want my phone to last me the day.

I'm not sure if this applies to the Pixel 7, but with the 6a disabling 5G (setting preferred network to LTE) helps appreciably with battery life.
