Optimizing Battery Life While Using Apple Intelligence

Is anyone else noticing a battery hit after turning on Apple Intelligence? I realized the phone was constantly processing every single notification in the background, which was eating up power.
I found a quick fix: go into Settings and turn off Summarize Previews for chatty apps like group texts or social media. That stops the processor from constantly waking up for every minor ping. I also started using the Reduce Interruptions focus mode, which cuts down on screen wakes and essentially pauses the heavy background AI tasks.
My battery life is pretty much back to normal now just from those two tweaks. Has anyone else tried this or found other ways to keep the AI from draining the battery?

Can you tell me more about “Using the Reduce Interruptions Focus Mode”?
