Pixel 6 went from 95% battery to 0% despite no use

I set my phone aside in a faraday box for 4 days. No apps have unrestricted battery permission. The battery usage statistic chart shows 84% of it was used on Mobile Network. I don't even have a SIM card.

I guess let this be a reminder to put it into airplane mode if you are using a faraday cage lol

That being said, why is the phone searching for mobile networks at all if it doesn't even have SIM card?

At least in Germany you had been able to make an emergency call without a SIM card in the past. Due to abuse it was cancelled.

Nevertheless, because of the Pixel 6's massive battery drain with mobile networks I recommend to enable airplane mode with VoWIFI at home.
