I'm facing the same issue with my S24 ultra. The contact storage has drained 25% of my battery in just one day, and I can definitely tell when it's happening because the phone gets noticeably warmer. I've already suspended access to my contacts for WhatsApp, Contacts app, Gmail, etc. This temporarily solved the problem, but then I couldn't see my WhatsApp contacts attached to the photos, which essentially made the phone useless for me. Turning on power saving mode did help a bit, and there were even days when the issue didn't show up on the battery usage chart. However, after a week or two, the phone heats up, the battery drains, and the problem returns.

I had high hopes for the latest update to fix this issue, but after installing it, nothing changed. Initially, I thought that the problem might be due to my phone being made in Brazil, but it seems that's not the case.

Same issue here, For the last month or two battery is drained by the contact storage. 

Tried pretty much every fix on the Internet short of Hard resetting to a brand new phone with no backup what so ever.

I managed to fixed mine and now the contacts storage battery usage is not even 1%.

I will explain in detail.

(Before performing the below steps please make sure to sync your contacts to your Google account and back up your calling history to Samsung cloud)

1. Switch off Google drive back by going to Accounts and Backup> Backup Data (Under Google Drive heading)

2. Clear Contacts Storage app's data and cache. (But before doing that make sure you backup your calling history on Samsung cloud because you'll need to restore it after clearing the cache and data.)

3. Resync your contacts by just using Google sync and never turn on the Google backup again.

P. S. I'm using WhatsApp dual messenger along with WhatsApp business so there's total 3 WhatsApp accounts active on my phone and I'm not using separate contacts list for either of them and still the contacts storage usage is less than 1%

Please share your experience whether this works for you or not
