My in-game time is ~115 hours now. It's more difficult because the Switch goes into Sleep-Mode and stops the timer and after a while, the battery starts draining while in the dock, so I try not to overdo it for the console's sake.
Why does battery drain while in the dock? I am pretty sure it doesn't, but it could be that I never noticed. There was a time when I only played docked, and I recall it was always 100%.
I never noticed anything being wrong either. I don't think the idling would be related, but that's the only thing that's different now. And it stays on 100% for a few hours before doing it regardless.
Hmm... maybe you should get it checked sometime? Though, if it only does that after a few hours, maybe it's some kind of power management, coupled with idling or something...
