I think the 'off' icon also uses power. I've tried switching the Gen3 off completely and the battery still loses power more quickly than it did before the upgrade.

Before the upgrade I experimented with leaving the device on constantly and it went a full seven days before I needed to recharge.

Now, using either sleep mode or switched off completely, a battery charge lasts around five days. Also I think that it may not be registering the true amount of power left in the battery, as it often drops from 70% to zero between switching off and switching back on the following morning.
