Has anyone else's reMarkable tablet's battery life gone from multiple weeks to one day with the version 3 firmware? Does downgrading restore the endurance?

@th Mine has been sitting in my bad for a week, and I just turned it on and it shows 97% battery.

I'm using 3.4.0.01775.

@loke do you mean you "turned it on" and that it has been powered off for the week, or that it has been running the whole time? mine used to be able to "stay on" for weeks, now it drains a few percent per hour.

@th I mean it was in sleep mode (i.e. the mode you get into when pressing the power button once). It immediately woke up when I pressed the button just now.

@th I just noticed there was a software update available. I've updated now. Let's see if battery life changed.

@th my housemate has one and hasn't noticed any change in battery life

@th
I have 3.3.2 installed and the battery lasts a bit less, but nothing like what you describe.
When I got it the battery would last about a week of intense use, now I need to recharge it after 3-4 days.
On the other hand, I can't get the PC app to work since the last update but maybe it's for the better as the file transfer seems to be quicker when using the web interface.

@th @qbi mine went down, but not as bad. But surely double the speed as usual

@th I have a reMarkable 1 and indeed since version 3 firmware battery life has gone down. I assumed it to be battery degradation due to age.. hmm.
