Something else must have been wrong, because that's not the way QoS works IIUC. MVNO subscriber equipment receives the same signal strength as the carrier's own subscribers do, but packets are deprioritized, resulting in occasionally slower service with higher latency. But battery draining isn't supposed to result.

There are a few big MVNOs (like Straight Talk) that work across multiple carriers - I bet in the face of deprioritization the phone tried to switch to another network, and kept doing that as the new carrier also experienced congestion.
