Oh, interesting! My Pixel 7 seems to run out of battery really fast too (vs previous Pixels, which I've had many of). I first thought it was 5G, but LTE doesn't seem much better. Now that I think about it, I switched to Fi at around the same time... wonder if it's actually that causing the drain?

Google Fi seems to prioritize T-Mobile networks in my experience, maybe monetary related, but they had terrible signal near me. I got an app on the play store to force it to US cell, but I constantly had to switch it. I wouldn't trust the Google Fi app to "automatically choose the best network" _for you_.
