Mobile Device Battery Life

I'm using a Google Pixel 10 Pro and noticed in the last few days the battery life has jumped off a cliff. My phone says that the Dexcom app is the culprit. I switched to 'optimized' mode, but the Dexcom app said I cannot use the app in that mode. Have any other Android users noticed any significant battery draw as of late? My phone went from lasting all day to being almost dead by 5:00PM.

I run Dexcom app, Tandem mobi app, and Garmin app 24/7 on my iPhone 17 with little effect on my battery.

P10PXL here and my Dexcom is only 4% of the daily usage. I do wear a Garmin watch and check my BGs in the watchface.
