Tailscale running at full force during the night? - eviltoast

I keep having my phone completely drained of battery over night, and im not sure why… Each night the phone will easy chew through 30-40% battery. Only thing that helps is putting it in battery saving mode. But feels like a temporary solution.

The second most used app is at 7% percent usage.

Am running GrapheneOS, anyone else struggling with this?

    It’s a known issue with tailscale. It drains my battery pretty bad as well. I had to opt for wireguard for remote access instead.

      I’ve seen these kinds of issues over the years with different tools on a variety of phones. It’s so hard to know what the root cause is.

      Some phones are just fine,others eat batteries, even when on the same versions of Android and the app.

      Sometimes it’s just so hard to figure out.
