I assume your post has a cynical undertone?

 

After an update the software has to settle.

The software learns from your behaviour and adapts with the intention to maximize battery life.

 

Advise:

Restart your device by pushing the power button and volume down button simultaneously.

Hold it for 2 minutes and ignore the conditions every now and then.

Restart if it doesn't restart by itself and wait a day or two before making a judgement.

 

Come back and share your experiences.

 

Hope this helps you enjoy your device as before.

Normally on Android devices you can see which application is draining the battery - it may be that one of your apps isn't 100% compatible with the latest update and is causing a drain (or maybe it just needs to be uninstalled and re-installed).

 

I can get to the menu via Settings - Battery, then looking for the three dots in the top right and select "Battery Usage". Stats will be unavailable until there is ~10% battery drain since the last time it was charging...
