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?

No idea about those, but wireguard and openvpn were terrible for battery life, only ever used if I needed to access something at home

As the apps or as the VPN service?

I run both via VPN app and i have similar results to @astrsk

I had openvpn server on pfsense couple years ago, and now wireguard on Mikrotik

ohh i see. i was walking phone.

aint router CPU super underpowered? and it would manage a lot of move traffic?

Nah don't see that being factor, the small Mikrotik is handling it very well for my small homelab, and pfsense was running on stupidly overkill 8c16t / 32gb memory because didn't have any more fitting hardware at that point

Edit: the huge battery drain was on phone, with VPN client
