Help syncing photos and battery life

I have a Galaxy S6. I like it very well but I don't use it all that much. Mostly as a phone and a camera.

Ordinary, I will get several days from a battery charge with this kind of usage. But earlier in the week I had several days where the charge drained really rapidly. At one point my charge went from 60% to 0% overnight...with the phone just sitting on the table and turned off. The next night it went from 90% to 84% overnight and with no further charging went from there, through another night, to 75% this morning.

Anyone have any thoughts on this kind of erratic behaviour?

The only possible suspect I can identify is that I synced some photos with Google Drive. The phone was "off" and syncing in the background. But can the syncing process drain the battery that significantly?
