Is there a way to increase the battery life of the PinePhone?

I don't think that's how it should be.

In the past, my Pinephone (Mobian) could always remain in standby for more than two days before the battery was empty, provided I did not touch it at all. 

Since some time, however, I have the same problem you descibed: Instead of remaining switched off, the screen goes on once in a while showing either the lock screen or a black surface (a backlit black surface, the screen is not switched off).

That's extremely annoying because it brings down battery life to a few hours. I have not found a solution yet, unfortunately, but there must be one since it used to function much better.
