Battery drain: usage and recurring conditions
Open task Build a comparable app-use record before attributing short runtime to the battery.
Device evidence task · Pixel 7
Heat events: workload, cooling and recurrence
Document naturally occurring heat restrictions or shutdowns and the safe later result.
Planning estimate for recording observations; excludes charging, backups, drying and service. Not a measured repair time.

Preparation guide
Record the observed restriction: slowed charging, disabled camera/flash, connectivity restriction, warning or shutdown. Do not infer a temperature from touch alone.

Choose the activity already in progress, such as camera, navigation, hotspot, setup or charging. Keep sun or enclosed-space exposure as a separate condition.

If too hot, disconnect power when safe, move to a cooler place and stop using it until cooled. If it shut down, let it cool before restarting.

After cooling, look for Battery → Battery diagnostics → Phone is very warm. The source lists Pixel 6 and later, but if this installed OS lacks the option, record unavailable.

Observe ordinary cooler use without recreating heavy load. Recurring shutdowns or unexplained restrictions should go to Google with workload and charging context.

Check the result
- Keep the heat-event context and return to normal behavior. A normal later observation does not establish long-term battery health.
- Tell Google about recurring shutdowns or restrictions in cooler normal use, including whether power was connected.
Stop conditions
- Stop using and charging equipment with swelling, casing separation, smoke, a burning smell or suspected battery damage. Do not open or press on it.
- Set damaged accessories aside. Do not open mains adapters or force connectors.
- Do not erase, reset, flash firmware or bypass a lock as a default diagnostic step.
