Help Amazon Appstore uses excessive battery after upgrade to Lollipop

I just installed Lollipop on my LG G2 (Verizon) this week. I've been noticing poor battery life and when I checked the battery usage, Android Appstore was at the top of the list, around 20%. Today, my phone was running great, still close to 100% after 2 hours. Then I installed a few app updates using Google Play Store and all of a sudden I felt my phone getting warm again, and when I checked the battery use, Amazon Appstore was at the top again. I had automatic updates turned off in the Appstore app but still had notifications enabled, so I just turned those off (as well as data collection, had not seen that one before). Not sure if that will fix it, but worth a shot.

Is there a bug in the Amazon Appstore app that is causing it to go crazy when other apps are updated? How would I even report this to Amazon? I rebooted my phone and it still seemed to be using close to 20% battery, but seems to have stopped (the phone is not warm to the touch anymore but the battery usage still shows 18% for the Appstore app).
