Battery life sucks after update.

I installed the latest update yesterday, and since then, my battery life has plummeted. 56 minutes of screen time and my battery dropped from 80% to 37%, and then after almost 2 hours plugged in it was only up to 56%.

Yesterday, in 11 hours, the phone used 139% of battery life. 

This is untenable and needs a fix ASAP.

Galaxy phones have an adaptive battery feature that uses machine learning to optimize battery consumption based on your usage.

After a major software update, this feature resets and needs to relearn your usage patterns. You may notice diminished battery life for 7-14 days while this process takes place.

In the meantime, You can potentially alleviate performance issues by completing these steps for routine maintenence:
