        Hello there, the nice community of Ubuntu Touch,

        I recently noticed that my battery runs very low on in about 7-8 hours (12 % drop / hour) even within the standby mode. I suspected that there might be something running in the background.

        I realized that the daemon of "Dekko" mail app is running on the background all the time. I killed it and observed the battery drainage and it improved quite a lot ( 4-5% drop / hour ).

        I also noticed that in "ps aux" command, python (/usr/bin/python) is running on the background and hogging the cpu with usage of 13.5% which is higher than what dekko was using,1-2%.

        I tried to kill python but it automatically starts and uses exact same cpu percentage. I believe it is the source of battery drainage in my device.

        I am asking whether it is common to have python running on the background with this much of cpu usage? or is this an app that I installed might be doing?

        If so, how can i detect which app is triggering python to run repeatedly with this cpu consuming task.

        Edit: I found out "libertined" (/usr/bin/python3 /usr/bin/libertined) is keep getting started every time I kill. Is there a way to disable libertine daemon ?

        Thank you in advance for your efforts and comments.
