Bug Description
I have recently noticed a serious battery drain on Meizu Pro 5 while Wi-Fi is on. The phone can drop even ~20% overnight (phone idle, location on, Wi-Fi on and connected to 5GHz network, mobile data on, bluetooth off). While not heavily used (~1h a day with screen on - Internet, call/SMS etc.) I charge my phone every 1.5-2 days. With Wi-Fi off it can survive about twice that long.
I think it might have got slightly worse with OTA-12, but I expected short battery life earlier as well.
P.S. I wasn't entirely sure where to file this bug - if it is a wrong place, please let me know where to move it.

It is still very bad with OTA-14. Is there any chance to get it fixed. I know there are many things to do and little time, but such issues are reallly vital for those who want to use Ubuntu pgones as their daily driver. Wi-Fi has to be turned on and off every time and having forgotten to turn it off results in rapid battery drain. It led me to stick to mobile data for most of the time (which also is problematic, as the data connection drops very often - but that's another issue).
Problems like that should be taken care with the highest priority in my opinion. Could anyone have the look at this feature?
I've attached a screenshot of what Wi-Fi has done to my battery overnight.
