Pixel 2 XL Issues

Device is 1.5 years old. Battery life has dropped 50% in last few weeks. Usage profile is normal. Reading news and blogs for about 20 min in morning uses 15% battery is 5 % before. Checked apps usage etc. No clues.

Second issue. PlaystaPlay Vue has been running great for last 4 weeks. Now app will not run. Cleared cache and data - no change. Uninstalled/reinstalled - no change. Any ideas? No I am not doing factory reset - too much PITA.

Have you tried rebooting the phone into Safe Mode to see if it makes any difference with the battery drain? That can help to rule out problems from misbehaving apps.

Solved issue with PlayStation Vue. It is an app problem related to some PS Vue restrictions about being out of home area for greater than 30 days. After trying several VPN apps, I was able to trick PS Vue into thinking we were back in home area and it started working. It would be nice if developers displayed some kind of warning/error message.

Phone also seems to be getting better battery life on Android 10.
