Google play services always active in background

[Sanadel]

My google play services stays active in back ground around 22 hrs/day, draining my battery. I did not noticed this until i mount my second SIM card. Since than two google play services in my app, is this normal ? One of google play services in active in back ground 22 hrs and draining about 10% of battery and the second one maybe active 5 hrs and draining 0.1%,,,
I try to reboot and wipe cahche, i cleared cache on both apps, i also clear all data on both apps, and restarting in safe mode and using for a day make no difference. I also check sync problems, no sync problems
Have i something more to try before restoring to factory settings ?
Thank you in advance

All normal, a factory reset will do nothing.

Strange, i check with my friends mobile. There google play services works in background just minutes per day and consumptiom is under 1% per day.

Ok but your device is from 2018, and batteries will start to fail...

Dont think so, the phone was activated jiust one momth ago. And despite google services consumptiom i can say the battery is ok, i have 30-40% in the evening. But useless consumptiom just bother me

so sounds like you have done all the troubleshooting (https://www.maketecheasier.com/fix-google-play-services-battery-drain-android/) that can be done other then a factory reset. try doing a hard reset instead of a factory reset. you will need to use the power+vol button combo:https://www.hardreset.info/devices/samsung/samsung-galaxy-a8-2018/

also keep in mind that your battery is almost at its end of life period. most batteries have a life span of about 3-4 years or sooner depending how much you use the phone and how frequent you charge it.

I will try this, just to see if Danny was right or not. Thank you guys

oh yeah i forgot to mention that if you do a hard reset, you will trip FRP (factory reset protection) and you will need your google account info to bypass it.
