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?

    Well, it has to run in the background. That said I haven’t noticed a significant uptick in battery consumption. The battery consumption you see might be from something else.

      I wonder what causes it really, didn’t use to happen, but seem to be a common problem for many.

        Could be anything. What I do to reduce the possibility of some app going haywire in the background, I restrict background usage to all apps that I’m sure I don’t need to run in the background. Obviously Tailscale isn’t one of them because I need it. 😅 Also I started using Shelter to put untrusted apps like WhatsApp into a work profile and completely disable them when not in use. I haven’t had many battery drain incidents since then.
