Matt thank you,
He says i just listened and was excited to hear that,Dave, you have the same problem i'm having with my iPhone 12 Pro Battery. So mine is a 12 mini his 12 pro, it says it only drains excessively at home and on wi-fi at home on wi-fi i've seen battery drainage of at least seven to ten percent per hour with minimal to no use of the phone at all, it just sits on my desk and i can see the battery usage chart show a scary rapid decline yes exactly the same for me, he says if i travel anywhere else including being on wi-fi my battery drainage stabilizes to a normal like three percent per hour that's not fantastic but it's definitely much better, he says i've done google searching up the wazoo and haven't found many specific cases that mimic what i'm seeing like you i also thought it must have something to do with the location setting, but for me turning off those didn't help okay same he says i've also tried limiting background updates etc etc he says i even drew a pentagram on the floor with candles and sacrificed a chicken to appease the angry iPhone gods but all to no avail he says what i found actually helped much to my  surprise was resetting my network settings and this is the same thing i wound up doing over the weekend and it worked uh he says that forces me to re-enter all of my wi-fi passwords again i'll get to that because it shouldn't. he says and reset some cellular settings  
but it does have a noticeable improvement on the battery drainage problem at least for a while after resetting network settings and using my home wi-fi i see the battery drainage go back to the usual three percent per hour with minimal usage it doesn't seem to last very long for him, he says i find that sometimes when i leave and come back to my house if i don't use a wi-fi network in between the battery will stay good but if i say go to my office and use the office wi-fi and then come back home the fast battery drain will start again  even then however the pattern isn't 100 percent consistent he says i'm sure resetting  network settings is just masking whatever the 
real issue is but but at least it helps.
