For a long time, I have had GrapheneOS on my Google Pixel 7 - which I don't use anymore as my main phone, but it's almost always on. It has some apps, but mainly, a constant connection to my email. No SIM card, connected via Wi-Fi.
I've always noticed a battery drain of about 4-5% overnight, sometimes even more, despite not having notifications and not using it.
Last night, I decided to remove Google Services. In 24 hours (and a few minutes of usage), it consumed 2% of the battery.
I'm trying to understand how much I need Google Services for my needs. The main messaging systems I currently use are bridged with Matrix, and on Element, I have notifications via ntfy (unified push).
In the coming days, I will try to see if it's possible for me to do without them.

I use LineageOS on my MotoG7 phone without Google services and get along just fine. FDroid has plenty of FOSS apps you can install but if you must access the Google Play store for an app there's always the Aurora Store, which can open a temorary anonymous connection to Google for you.
