Hey all,

Want to just see if others are getting the same randomness I am.

My Pixel 2XL (running the latest security patch) keeps telling me "your battery may run out soon" earlier.

It was normally always around 15-20%. Then after a while it was between 20-25% (almost always 22%). Now it's been creeping up further to 100% every few charges.

The notification now tells me at 33%.

Sure it gives me a secondary one at around 10-19% (most recent was 12%) but this is still strange and has got me curious.

It has just morphed into 2 notifications with one being ridiculously early now (still around 4 hours left - "should last until 11pm") and the secondary normal one.

Has this happened to anyone else?
It's not a big deal but I just wonder how far it will go up. 40%? More?

I've tried the obvious solution that the battery isn't lasting as long and thus sending earlier notifications but my battery health is fine.

    Google would say: buy the Pixel 3 XL 😂
    I had no issues so far….

    Best solution would probably be to get rid of Google's Android, and flash a Custom Rom.
    Free yourself from Google's grasp, and shut down many of the services that run without your knowledge and permission. Think of it like a detox, just like how people modify the Windows10 Pro system, so that it uses less resources and doesn't have Microsoft Spyware installed. You can achieve a much leaner Operating System on the Pixel 2XL, which will increase the device's efficiency and probably give you a more accurate representation of your battery's health and the battery life performance. You might be surprised with what you find: no need to upgrade phones, or lose your waterproofing whilst replacing the battery.

    Just one way you can look at this.

    I have the same issue. The notifications start at 30% and buzz my Gear S2 every 30 seconds or something. If you find a solution, I'm keen to find out too

    Was this the patch sent yesterday?

      No this must have been last month's patch then because I didn't get one just yesterday.
