My s23 ultra has system UI constantly requesting for location. This doesn't seem right and also probably causing battery drain.

Found this by going to settings - permission manager. 

Anyone else facing this issue?

Check that location tag is on or off in Camera settings...

You need to go to settings - security and privacy - privacy - location. It will show you which apps have accessed it.

System UI is a system app and you can't change the location permission it already has

Mine just SBI.

Maybe that is the one using location.
Try turning it off and see for a day.Screenshot_20230813_120133_Permission usage.jpg
