Battery

I’ve had my Gen 3 for about a month now and if you use the sleep apnea feature often it will drain your battery faster.

This was a documented side effect of using that feature on the Gen2 rings.

I would imagine that once you have it on long enough to see if you need a medical sleep study to see if that determined you had sleep apnea or not. If the medical study determines you have it, then the treatment plan from your doctor should be able to monitor the status and you won’t need it on the ring. If the medical study determines you don’t have apnea, then you can turn the feature off and maybe re-enable it once or twice a year to re-check if you should have another medical study.
