KDE Connect is quite usable, but I feel like it drains my battery. Or is it the battery itself, the age? Does anyone know if and how (which tools or apps) you can read the charge cycles or battery status on a Pixel 5 with Graphene OS? Or is that not possible on Android, as it is on Apple?

@unixviking mine does not drain my battery out. Perhaps you should check yours, my friend.

@unixviking You can view the battery usage of all your apps by going to Settings > Battery > Battery usage.

If you are worried about the battery usage of a particular app you can restrict its battery usage. But that might mean some things don't work as expected, for example, notifications from that app.

For most apps you should leave the battery setting as the default optimized state.

@unixviking it uses less than 1% of battery for me, even when I set it to unrestricted battery usage
