My phone's battery was draining crazy fast after the last update

I was losing like 40% charge before lunch, which never happened before. I went into the battery settings and saw 'Google Play Services' was using a huge chunk of power. On a whim, I cleared its cache and data, then restarted. The drain stopped almost completely the next day. Has anyone else fixed a weird battery hog this way?

My Fitbit app did the same thing and clearing its data fixed it overnight.

My Garmin app needed a full restart last week.
