I installed this yesterday. It’s not great. 29% of all power used goes to it. It’s getting removed as we speak.

  • Did you report the battery problem on github or their subreddit?

    I’ve also read these recommendations:

    1) Switching from instant notifications (default) to periodic - some users say it does reduce battery usage.
    
    2) If you are often reconnecting to the messaging servers - it may be happening on slow/unstable mobile networks - please try enabling dev tools and then increase connection timeouts in advanced network settings. It might result in fewer reconnections and reduced battery usage.
