Can anyone help me with this battery leak?
It looks to be the system... but I have not changed anything.

Have you just taken a software update? It's a big with the most recent one apparently.

There's more info and a potential fix here: https://phandroid.com/2018/02/23/google-pixel-2-xl-battery-drain-issue/

My impression is that nobody knows what the actual cause is. Hence the reports in the phandroid article of different things working for different people, or the problem starting at different times (including before the update) And of course most users don't have the problem at all.

I'm sure there's a common factor somewhere, but it may take someone like Google, able to collect reports from many affected users, to work out what it is.

Meanwhile, give the suggestions there a try - one of them may work for you.

Just to stop anyone panicking... Like I just did.


We're talking about the power in the battery draining... And not nasty chemicals leaking out of the battery

anyways, thx for the replies. I found that that the factoryresetting of play store solved the problem for me.
