I get that every now and then. I just tap it, force kill it, all is back to normal. You can dig into Gsam to find it's a wake lock stuck somewhere in some obscure service and the battery monitoring app will take you to all the details and other stuff I don't understand but after all that the solution is usually suggested as kill play services or reboot the device.
My Play Services shows up as a user when I take a bunch of photos and/videos. Never number 1 like yours but like yesterday when kayaking a took a bunch of photos and it was #4. I don't use any Google photo cloud stuff or any of that so I have no clue why it does it. I just kill it and drops back down eventually. Like I said, Gsam app can take you down the rabbit hole, eventually nailing down but I'm more interested in a solution than a reason since I know nothing about code and all that stuff. I'd like to be able to find why Android Weather keeps triggering a high CPU usage alert. I don't even know what Android Weather is, can't find any app or widget I've got that would use it and Gsam doesn't show it either.
That's pretty darn ironic. I wonder how mine is different than how yours was. I remember when Gsam first came out, under a different name , I used to have issues with battery consumption with it but I think that was a theme or widget or something I paid extra for. It's been years ago so I can't remember exactly
Two days in a row for me too, that it has been #2 in my battery stats. But, for me Phone Standby has been #1 yesterday and today. When I tap the graph I see several chunks of yellow signal and during those times something is trying hard to maintain a connection. I'm guessing that Verizon is having some LTE issues in my area and Google service is trying hard to keep me connected to those ever important Google apps and services they provide.
