Perpetual sync = battery drain

I have my Libra set to power off after an hour if I'm not using it in order to save battery drain. Recently I've been noticing that only after a day or so, I'll open up the ereader and find it almost completely drained of battery. I checked my settings and theyre still set to power off, except my ereader is not powering off automatically! I think I found the culprit -- the spinny sync wheel keeps going around and around "checking for updates" and it shows it hasn't synced successfully in nearly a week. I tried then to sync it with the desktop kobo tool but it's stuck on "syncing ereader".

Does anyone know why this might be? I did do a big connect with Calibre to upload some books and new metadata a few days ago, and I don't know if there's something that might have messed with the sync settings (I use the Kobo Extended Driver and Kobo Utilities)? Or could there be another reason that it won't sync from the wifi but keeps trying to?
