This should help you out it's what I did to my S8 now whether all these steps are necessary are beyond me but it definitely helped with battery life. Go into maps and all the google apps and disable the stuff you may not use such as maps asking for your input when you go somewhere or google feeds which I honestly don't use. Next go into Samsung's own battery thing and for apps that you only care about when they are open such as carrier apps put those as always sleeping. Make sure all your apps are monitored and there arent any allowed to use as much power as they want. Go into Snapchat if you have it and turn off the location thing where everyone can see you (honestly just find that creepy) and turn off notifications that wake your screen not just from Snapchat but all apps(you have an always on display and a notification led waking the screen for a notification is useless). Go into settings and turn on the feature to turn off your screen in a dark place(under advanced I believe). When oreo comes out to your phone soon you'll have the option to "disable background usage" for apps and for many apps this is a good idea. This doesn't actually disable background usage but it does enforce android oreo's stricter background usage rules. As time goes on to the end of the year google is pushing app developers to better support newer android standards which will definitely help in some way. Also just disable apps in general and make sure everything is up to date.

Anyone else experiencing this? It's only been like this for a week or two now.
For the 1000th time android should never be top 1 consumer, it should be screen. Check your background running apps etc, everything you remember which shouldnt be running in the background. I went to settings-apps and disabled everything except weather, calls and sms apps i forbid them running in the background and also using data/only when i open those apps they can use data :)
