Since the latest update, Twidere is draining my battery. Even with the application closed, and using it for about 10-15 minutes per day, Twidere is at the top of battery consumption.

Same problem in v3.6.29. Have gone back to v3.6.21

Same problem using 3.7.1.
It seems that twidere background process is periodically started, even if I kill twidere app; it is very strange, since I've disabled backround updates in twidere settings...

I found the root cause to power draining problem. There'll be a fix for this in next release.

@mariotaku Don't leave me hanging! What's the root cause? I'm curious.

@andschwa When a refresh task failed in background, it may keep device awake since old implementation only release wakelock after task finished successfully. Now with background service completely rewritten, wakelocks are released despite whether tasks successful or not, and all tasks will have a deadline to finish forcefully after a period of time.

Oh cool. Thank you. Can't wait to try it out!

The battery consumption is crazy on 3.7.3.
