Google Pushes Pixel 10 and 9 Battery Fix in July Update as Some Drain Reports Persist

Summary
July build CP2A.260705.006 is now Google's fix for the long-running idle battery drain on Pixel 10 and Pixel 9, and the company has marked the bug as fixed in its public tracker.
Deep Doze appears to be the trigger: affected phones keep the CPU awake while idle, and some users say battery life improves sharply when they switch on airplane mode.
Several users in Google's support thread say the update did not resolve the drain on their devices, suggesting the patch works only for some phones and the scope of the bug remains unclear.
September is still the target for Pixel 8a and Pixel 9a, while Google has not said whether older affected models such as the Pixel 7 and Pixel 8 will get a similar fix.
