After few days of testing and digging i found nothing wrong with WireGuard... it turned out that for some reason after using WireGuard, WiFi Calling and/or VoLTE started to go crazy and eat up battery.
After disabling both features and with WG in Damand mode (always on) and 8h battery dropped shocking 2% ...
now, you/I can dismiss that report or try to find why Wi-Fi Calling and VoLTE going crazy with wireguard enabled. It might be bug in iOS, bug in T-Mobile implementation, bug in CFNetwork, or vpn extension, who knows. If you have ideas about that let me know.
thanks all for listening.

Hi
Thanks for great work with Wireguard, it's fresh breeze of air compared on years spend on OpenVPN...
I am testing WG on varius OSes and devices and I have noted severe battery drain on iOS (12.2, iPhone 8). Typically battery drops 40% during night-time (that is 7 hours of inactivity on the phone) when WireGuard is engaged.
Is this some kind of known issue? I did not had chance to test previous iOS version without SIMD ChaCha20 support so i cannot tell if it is becouse of the last update.
Anything i can do to track issue here?
thanks,
