Tailscale and Wireguard absolutely murder the battery if the network is down/flakey.

When I was working the polls some months ago I was in an unusually low signal area and my phone ended up completely dying (not had that happen in a decade probably) due to Tailscale using 50% of my battery. Crazy bug.

Agreed. I so wish this was fixed. It’s so bad.
