This has only started recently, less than a week. My battery is just getting its ass kicked.

My day to day is work, on WiFi, always full barrs Sunday - Sunday. I stopped spectrum mobile from gps location yada yada but it doesn’t do anything or help.

      You cannot uninstall the app but I did uninstall the updates and then denied access to everything possible on top of location.

            No worries! Note that it doesn’t really uninstall it, I mean it does but the app is still there, available for you to be reinstalled in case it’s an essential app, in that case do:

            adb shell cmd package install-existing <package_name>
            

            So save the app package name somewhere. It uninstalls the app for the current user but it’s still available in the system (it doesn’t run if you uninstall it, no worries)

                Unless spectrum pushes some kind of update that reinstall it, you’re okay! The first OS update check if it’s there, if not you’re safe

          It’s bloatware, so probably American. I would know, I avoid those shitass bloated phones like the plague. Sometimes I’ll install a custom ROM to get rid of other shit, too

          These are the only options. And when I hit the 3 dots in the top. I click “uninstall updates” and then maybe 30 minutes later it reinstalls.

          I have No clue what this app doesn’t what it’s for. It is not the same app you’d use to pay your bill or see your usage. This app has no icon. I can only force stop it. But my battery went from 100-88 in an hour and half just idling.

        Probably not necessary for the phone to function right? If not, look into using adb to remove it completely. Only do this if you’re comfortable in using command line and enabling developer mode on your phone
