Wallet draining 30 to 60 % of battery consistently.

I've had this issue for years across multiple phones. I think it has to do with family apple card based on my many go-arounds with Apple support, Sr. Support and even the Apple Pay team.

• I did all basic things, battery diagnostics turning off and on checking settings, checking my iOS version etc.
• I restored my phone w/o a backup (twice) thinking that maybe there was some odd corrupt data in my backups but this didn't work either.
• I removed all my non-apple cards thinking maybe there was a bad integration.
• Then finally I removed apple card.. This worked. Battery dropped from 41% to about 1% by the next day and I am getting significantly better battery life

I'm on a 15 pro max now by the way.

I'm convinced it is either due to a bug with apple card family share (even though my wife does not have the issue with her version of the card.

The only nuance I can think of about my account is that I signed up for apple card when it was new. then later closed that account. Years later we signed up again to try the family card and since then i've had the issue. no idea if it's due to having closed a prior account but maybe there's some issue with the history of that behind the scenes on my apple card. Or it's the primary holder of the family shared apple card. I have a call to follow up this week with sr. support but i've done all possible trouble shooting on my side.

I'm escalating as much as I can. Bottom line, it should not be a solution to just remove the card and not use the product. This is a bug that should be resolved/aknowledged.
