I can't pinpoint if it was an iOS or an app install/update, but my IPP 10.5 running 11.0.3 is reporting strange battery usage statistics. For example right now it's showing:

Settings/Battery/Time Since Last Full Charge:
Usage: 26 hr, 15 min
Standby: 51 hr, 28 min

Battery: 60%
Actual usage is probably around 5 hrs, and the Standby time is correct (elapsed time since charge).

Battery life is fine, so it's not a major concern. Thinking a background process was the cause I've disabled just about all apps from running in the background, but the issue persists. Also, right after I charge the battery to 100%, the usage and standby seem to track 1:1 for a while. In other words, even though the IPP is turned off, I'll see Usage equal to Standby for the first few hours, as if I was using it. Eventually usage will fall behind the standby time but the value is much higher than expected.

Before the problem started, I used to see usage numbers of 12-14 hrs by the time the battery reached 10%. Either there's an iOS bug, or, I have an app installed that is running full time but using almost no processor/battery. Has anyone else seen this?
