It's really strange to me. I noticed yesterday that the Play app started leaking battery like crazy on my Nexus 5. 100%-0% within 10 hours of idle, 33% due to Google Play Store.

Today, 6 hours since the full charge I'm looking again at the battery screen: 38% battery left.

16% Chrome (Background CPU: 1min 24s, Foreground CPU: 16s, GSM: 2h36min 58s)

16% Google Play Store (Total CPU: 10s, GPS: 6h 20min 6s, GSM: 1min28s)

6% Screen

4% Android system

Chrome is most surprising, as it's not usually there. I did a single web search three hours ago though. The phone is idle all day otherwise. There's something rotten in the mobile software industry that's literally making our pockets warm for no good reason.

Dear Google, please at least be a good citizen in your own ecosystem.
