I updated to one UI7 last night and now my battery while on idle is draining extremely fast. 

 
Had I known this would be an issue I would have never updated to this crappy software. 
 
This is a major issue and like I said I can notice the extreme battery drain while the phone is idle.
 
If Samsung doesn't fix this issue I will be filing a claim as to me this is now a defective item that they caused.

Make sure to go in and check your battery settings after the update. I was on the Beta and after Beta 5 update my battery protection was turned off. Not sure what other settings were affected but just a reminder to check all the battery settings.

You know it's not really idle, right?  There's stuff going on in the background as the OS continues to set itself up, apps are updating to be compatible with the new OS, etc.

Obviously but no it is considered idle if the screen is off and your not using it.

Just because *you* are not actively using it does not mean it is not doing stuff that requires battery resources. When they consider the phone idle because the screen is off and *you* are not using it, it's for the purpose of updates, optimization and backup. Under nornal circumstances when the phone is not in use the is some backround stuff going on, just much more of it is going on after an update. And, as I said before, it has to relearn your usage patterns.

Idle ≠ devoid of background processes. It means idle -- screen off, no major or superficial processes, just the base workings.
