Google is expected to drop the latest monthly update for the Pixels and the hope is that it will fix a bug that heats up the Pixel 6 series and drains the battery.

Plenty of Pixel 6 series users have been complaining that since updating to Android 13, their phone has been running hot while the battery has been draining like a sieve the whole time. Some are reporting onthat their screen-on time has been halved, like this Redditor:"I wasn't part of any beta, got the A13 stable update and battery just tanked. Went from 6-8 hours SOT to 3-4 SOT.

Eventually, by updating the Google Play Store, this Pixel 6 series user was able to get his old battery life back, but this doesn't seem to be the case for everyone. There is the possibility of some good news. Google traditionally releases the monthly Pixel update on the first Monday of each month. That would have been yesterday, but because of the Labor Day holiday, we should see the release today, September 6th.

Hopefully, the update will include a patch to exterminate the bug that heats up the Pixel 6 series handsets and kills the battery so quickly. One Redditor hopes that is what will happen although he also says that could ignore the situation:"that's likely to be the September patch... that's if they even address/acknowledge it, because they could easily just ignore it like they have before lol."But suppose the update doesn't address this problem? Some suggested uninstalling apps such as Facebook Messenger, Samsung Health, or the Reddit app to see if that helps with the battery life. Another suggestion that was mentioned on Reddit was to clear the cache on your apps.
