I have recently done a factory reset on my Pixel 5 phone and the and the sleep problem has gone away. The device has 64% deep sleep over 9 days. Previously it was about 5%. Battery function is much better. So it may not have been an Adguard problem.

In Adguard 2.8 Beta 1???

I can confirm the bug seems to be back. A few days ago the issue seemed to have been resolved, but today I noticed extremely high battery drain overnight to find Adguard VPN with extremely high wakelock usage. v2.8 beta 1

@DevSergio02 I performed a data/cache clear and then signed back in to the app. I will collect logs throughout today and send them in 12 or 24 hours.

We really could use the Battery usage page that's available in AGa in AGVPNa, too.

@artemiv4nov The stable version of Adguard VPN 2.8 has just been released. Have you checked that the bug no longer occurs in this version, as it did in Beta 1? I will still try this version to confirm whether the bug has disappeared or not.

Update: the stable version of Adguard 2.8 still has exactly the same problem as Beta 1, it still drains battery. The bug had been fixed in Nightly 2 as I had explained before, but it is back.

I'm very sorry but seeing that this bug has been going on for 6 months and it doesn't seem to change much, I'm uninstalling Adguard VPN from my phone until this bug is fixed. It's a bit frustrating to see how you pay for a VPN client and they don't fix a bug as important as this one, which significantly affects the battery life of our phones.

I will leave the phone for 1 hour draining the battery in idle and I will send the extended logs of Adguard VPN, but I will uninstall the application until this problem is solved.

@DevSergio02 Hi! Are you sure you just use a release version, not a beta version? In the release version, everything should be okay. Also, the fix has already been sent to Nightly track, you can check there.

Hello again! I just checked today, and apparently the stable version of Adguard VPN no longer drains battery. Yesterday when I installed it I saw that it started to increase consumption a bit, but I reinstalled the app and it hasn't drained again since.

For my part, the problem is now solved (and I'm very happy about it) 😄

@DevSergio02 @artemiv4nov After testing for 24hrs the issue appears resolved for me in v2.8.1 Nightly 4 as well! Thank you to the dev team for finally tackling this issue.

[artemiv4nov]

@DevSergio02 glad to know that:)

@TPS not yet planned. But you could open a new task, let's see how many user will upvote this.

@artemiv4nov I posted the RFE for the Battery Usage page @ https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdGuardVPNForAndroid/issues/454.

The app in Google Play Store doesn't seem to updated to the latest version yet: 2.8.x; it's still showing 2.7.25.

When it will be updated to the latest version?

[Versty]

@mahara The 2.8.1 version will be available very soon!
