This is normal. The percentage of battery drained by Outline equals to the sum of all networking activities on your phone, not just Outline itself.

To address this issue, please download Greenify and see what app is constantly "waking up" your phone while the screen is locked. Then, limit their background activities to save battery. In China, for example, Telegram and Google Sync are likely the main sources of battery drain.

However, it is still possible that Outline is causing the problem. Please try to download shadowsocks-android, which is the app that uses the same shadowsocks protocols as Outline. If this helps, then it would be Outline.
