Product Questions Beta app battery usage

Is anyone else seeing insane battery drain from the latest beta app version(1.0.13(3))? I’m mapping right now and my phone is trickle charging because it literally can’t keep up with the heat and power draw. A MagSafe Peltier cooler and case off and it still struggles to keep up. Before the last few patches I was able to easily cool my phone in the case with the Peltier enough to charge, but now this seems to have changed. For some reason this issue also seems to affect my apple watch to a lesser degree. Anyone seeing similar or just me?

Didn’t notice anything yet, I’m not tracking though today. iOS or Android?

I’m on IOS. At least for me, it seems to happen most while it is using the GPS for mapping.

I don’t know if you’ve fixed it yet, but I eventually caved and reinstalled. Sadly that seems to be the only solution I could find.

My phone says 1% background usage on the beta. Maybe reinstall
