My AirPods Max never go to sleep outside of the case.

Why do my AirPods Max stay connected even if I’m not wearing them. I can leave them sitting for an hour outside of the case and they never go to sleep mode. Is there something wrong with them?

I have started experiencing battery drain issues after some of the iOS 15 Betas. I think what happens is what you’re describing and is not the behaviour that was there before. I haven’t made an exact comparison of how often I charge them now compared to before, but I’ve been using them since February and I can tell that there is a much faster battery drain now…
