The question was asked because it is possible that metal is interfering with the sleep cover sensor. There have been some reports of the sleep cover not working when the device, especially the Aura ONE were put on a metal table.

As for the other suggestions I did the factory reset and everything so I will try now to take it out of the case and remove all epubs and I'll let you guys know !

It seems to be slightly better now. I had to charge it yesterday but I did the whole day (I read for 2-3h at night), the whole night it stayed on sleep mode and I just checked and in total I lost 20% (which is still a lot I think but I read a lot too yesterday with the light on so is that a normal battery drain considering this???)
Currently, Kobo claim the battery life as "weeks". Before, they were claiming 60 days of battery life for most of their devices, but 30 days for the Aura ONE. That was based on 30 minutes of reading per day. That works 30 hours and 15 hours of use. And 3 hours of reading is 5% and 10%. I don't know where the Aura H2O2 fits into this, but if you read for several hours plus the overnight sleep, 20% is high, but not absurdly high. If you have the opportunity to charge the device fully and let it sleep uninterrupted for a few hours, then you will get a better idea of how much battery life is used then. Same goes for a long reading session.
