Battery Life - Google Pixel XL

I have had my phone for about a month. Sometimes the battery life is great but many days it is not.

For example, before I went to bed last night I closed all the apps and set the phone to vibrate. The battery level was 90%. This morning the battery level was 48%. Even when it is sitting on my desk, only being used for an occasional text, it seems to burn about 5% of its battery per hour. This is getting annoying. Any suggestions for how to get good battery life all the time?

Nebraskatigger, we understand the importance of a phone and its ability to maintain its battery life. I know you had your phone for a month, but, how long has this battery issue been going on? Do you doing anything different on the days the battery drains a little more? Did this happen after any type of update?

I think that problem started more after the phone updated to the new version on the Android operating system which was in early September. Most days it drains about 5% per hour and I don't use it that much. I can't think of anything I do differently on days that it decides to use only a little battery.

That update may be the instigator of this drain, nebraskatigger. Let's work using these steps in place by Google. https://support.google.com/pixelphone/answer/6090599?hl=en
What apps are showing up as using the most battery?

My last full charge was 10 hours 30 minutes ago I would say my usage has been light to medium. I have 46% of my battery left. Fitbit 7%, facebook 4%, Weather Channel 3%, Pixel launcher 3% and one 1% for the following message plus, national weather service, monkey wrench, messenger, google, 10/11 news, snapchat. Fitbit is a little high this afternoon because I was having problems getting my fitbit to sync
