Google has released a fix for an idle battery drain bug affecting recent Pixel phones, but older models like the Pixel 8, Pixel 7, and Pixel 6 series are notably excluded from this update.

• The fix is included in the July software release for Pixel 9 and Pixel 10 models, with Pixel 8a and Pixel 9a receiving it in September.
• Google has not explained why older, affected Pixel generations are not included in the fix.
• Owners of Pixel 8, Pixel 7, and Pixel 6 devices previously reported significant battery drain, with logs pointing to issues with Deep Doze.
