Battery drain with Unregistered device SE?

Hi all, 

Lately I've been noticing a large battery drain (at least by my standards) of ~1-2% per hour during connected standby. Based on what's advertised (7-10 days idle) I'm getting ~4 days at best? I ran the sleep study, battery report and energy report and came up with interesting results. I've also calibrated the battery and have no current pending updates. Any ideas as to why the large battery drain during standby? 

Also sorry in advance for the long post. I'm not sure how to post the full reports on this forum.

    I gave up, my surface is a really expensive paper weight.  Can't believe reloading it back to factory settings 8 times didn't fix it.

    I haven't been able to get anywhere with Microsoft support. I can't believe Microsoft hasn't acknowledged this issue. If they cared about customers, bugs that affect critical usability aspects of their devices should not exist for 8 whole months.
