On Android 12, September patch, I was getting 7 hours minimum SOT from 100 to 20 percent. After Android 13(December security patch), it has been reduced to 5 hours.

That's a drastic reduction of 2 freaking hours of screen on time!!
I already knew that they messed up the battery after the December update but never thought that it will be this worse!

Yes, I did send them feedback and error reports and received the mandatory copy-pasted BS reply. 

Hoping to get the January update soon which MAY fix the issue. TBH I have lost faith in Samsung and wouldn't have updated if not for the 5g. Everything was smooth on Android 12, especially the battery life. A 2-hour plus reduction is not acceptable.

Nb: The reduction in battery life is happening when I am not on 5g. At this rate, I am afraid that the phone will have to be used as a landphone(full-time on charger)when I am on 5g.

Before updating to the dreadful Android 13, my phone literally used to stay on 100 percent for about 15 minutes whiles watching videos. Now, 100 to 90 is in a heart beat.

Same here. So bad optimization..samsung must look into this matter. Neither it's a huge problem. 😑

Did you report in the help section. It's not very useful but mass reporting may help. What if by stroke of luck some sane person is sitting at the other end by some mistake when some of us are reporting. So do report.

Yeah sure. I'll do it right now then.
