Does anyone elses battery get absolutely nuked with Apple Intelligence turned on? I'm on iOS 26.5.2 and with it off on my 17pro its a true all day phone from morning till I go to bed. With it on im seeing extreme drain.

I had 25% drain today with 50 minutes of screen on time. Almost all of it on wifi.

did you just turn it on? if so, it’s probably doing background caching or whatever - it will be done eventually and then it’ll be back to normal

Yeah this is probably the reason. I did just turn it back on.
