I installed GrapheneOS on my Pixel 4a after Google deleted the battery life[0], and while the initial move was frustrating with things not working, I've adapted and have a nice feeling of security while using my device again. It feels like it's mine, and I don't have to worry about who will spy on me or rug-pull me next.

Of all the selling points for GrapheneOS, I don't think battery life is one I'd highlight. Their Google Play services shim smokes my battery. Like 20-30% discharge while overnight idle kind of bad.

That's not at all normal. Sandboxed Google Play doesn't consume more batter than privileged Google Play in a standard Google Mobiles Services device. It indicates something is very wrong with your setup.

Its definitely pretty close to normal. Battery drain is probably the top mentioned drawback in any online post discussing GrapheneOS.

I know, I had the problem when I got the Pixel. Already with the stock Android and then when installing Graphene. It took one or two weeks of tweaking until the battery life was on par with LineageOS. Not sure if I'd be able to reproduce it, but I think a combination of display settings and stand-by/background services. It's a thin line though, also making sure that Whatsapp notifications still work.
