HD 8 10th Gen. suddenly has terrible battery life

Kindle Fire HD 8 10th Generation

Hello Reddit, I put 'advanced permission master' on my Kindle fire HD 8 2017 tablet because it was running very slow, so that I could see what apps were automatically starting at boot. I noticed one called 'special offers' which seems innocent as I had bought the special offers version.

Not for gaming, not for any high end tasks honestly,

Notifications always says “Kindle is running” or other app - battery dies fast

Hey all. I just updated my Fire HD 8 (like two years old, maybe) and now my battery is dying super quickly. It always says that Kindle is running in the notifications, which it’s never said before. Any ideas?

Kindle Fire HD 8 waking up close to dead

I noticed when I let my Kindle Fire HD 8 sleep when I don't use it, the next morning it's dead or close to dead battery wise (90% at night to 15% or less in the morning). Sometimes I have to hold down the power button for 15 seconds to get it to boot up. I noticed this started happening with the 5.6
