Same happens to me. I can't find a way to reproduce this behavior. This issue can happen after hours of browsing in Nekox. So I have to monitor htop in order to kill the app when it is using to much CPU, otherwise the phone is hot and battery is 0.

According to betterbatterystats nekox is the process with the highest battery consumption

Like it would run a miner for cryptocurrency

I'll switch back to telegramX

Thank you for helping us find this issue. I think this issue comes from telegram android but I need to check it more carefully.

The issue doesn't exist on TelegramX as far as I see and a friend also reports on his phone.

While NekoX was at the first place in BetterBatteryStats I can't find TelegramX there.

@luvletter2333, did you find a cause? Or is it hard to reproduce?

I dont know if this is related but on my android phone running /e/OS i get massive battery drain from a different builtin app called Media Storage. It only happens when nekogram x is open or left open when the screen is locked. Could it be related to that at all?
