Phone hot and battery drain when walking or driving

Question

I've noticed a very strange behavior on my phone. Every time I move out of my house walking or in the car it starts to get hot and drain battery. Google play services become on top of consumption.



I have location on saving mode, location sharing disabled and location history disabled as well. Consumption when quiet is awesome (1% per 2 hours)



Any tip? Not going out isn't an option haha

Answer

I fixed it. It seems that Macrodroid was causing the battery drain. I had some rules related to be connected/disconnected to the wifi of my house. Not sure why but sometimes, when out of my house, Google Play Services started to drain battery crazily. As I knew Macrodroid had also "location" based rules, I decided to remove it and since that I haven't had this battery drain again.
