iOS 9 on iPad Air 2 drains battery like crazy

I'm finding that since i updated my (development) iPad Air 2 from 8.3 to iOS 9 Beta 1, its battery is draining like crazy. I unplugged with 100% charge last night, this morning it's alreadty dead again. It also constantly is really warm. Instruments shows "blackboardd" running at 20% CPU, the full time, and MobileMail running fairly high too.


Mind you, this is not an "ooh, i upgraded my only production-use device to a beta and now i'm complaining it's not perfect" complaint, so hold back the usual snarky remarks about this. My concern is not only that this iPad is now unusable as a testing/development device, but that i'm actually worried about leaving it running like this at all, for what it might do to the CPU and the battery, long term. The only choice i'm seeing right now is powering it down completely and put it in a drawer until Beta 2 😟.

it's true! The battery it's draining very quickly and with certain condition the iPad Air 2 right side is really hot!!

It often happens when using with safari with some sites.

I believe that we should give priority to this issue on all other!!

It always happens with the first beta, from what I heard the best thing do to is to wipe the device and reload IOS 9. The indexing that happens on an update kills the battery/cpu, but seems to work better on a fresh install.

I did a clean install on my device several times without results, sure is a beta 1 and I just wanted to highlight the problem!
