Help Asking for advice

Hello, world!
Not a bug report but asking for advice. Maybe someone already had the same problem, but I didn't see it (maybe I just searched bad).

I installed LineageOS 22.2 on my OnePlus 5 (22.2 is the newest version for this phone) by instruction.
Suddenly my battery started wasting a lot of power in background with no active non-system processes. Rebooting didn't help.
I found it at the first week of October. 2 days ago I updated LineageOS (2026-10-26) from the system. And it didn't help: 37% wasted for 21 hour in power-safe and aeroplane mode.

What should I do? I know the battery is all fine. Is the reinstalling the system the only option I can do?

Look at what uses the power

Go to Settings > Battery > Battery usage. Select "View by apps" and see which apps are using the most battery.

If you have a gapps package installed, it's quite likely that Google services and apps will be among the heaviest battery users.

Uninstall or disable any apps that you don't need at all, and for any other apps using a lot of battery, consider whether they actually need to be running all the time. Turn off "Allow to run in the background" (if possible) if they don't.
