~4X battery consumption while in background compared to 'in use'

Hello Everyone, I am using Obsidian on both a relatively old 6th gen i5 Lenovo Ideapad (Win 10, 64x) and Surface Pro 7 (i7 10th gen) (Win 11).

On the Ideapad, I have not had any issues regarding battery consumption but on my Surface Pro 7, It drains the battery significantly, especially while being open in the background and not used!! I think It is more rational that the battery consumption is more In use rather than in the background so I think there is something wrong that I could not figure out!

I am using Google Drive sync to sync vaults between all devices and obsidian sync is turned off. Any help would be appreciated!

If you haven’t yet tried restarting the device, try that. If that doesn’t help, try the troubleshooting steps in the Obsidian debugging guide.
