I too was experiencing this. It was laughably bad. I then disabled 5G and all my issues disappeared. 4G is plenty fast enough and in my area has far better coverage. I truly don't see the point of 5G and the toll it takes on my battery.

    5G is slower than 4G 9 times out of 10 for me. I don’t understand wtf AT&T is doing.

    Strange, I can get over 100 Mbps down from them

    Just tried now, albeit low signal and I got 19 on LTE and 20 on 5G.

    I'm done paying Google to be a beta tester for their experiments. No matter how much I may hate manufacturer skins on top of Android, I'd rather deal with software bugs and quirks than hardware issues.

    My Pixel 6 always had issues switching from Wi-Fi to cellular, often requiring toggling airplane mode to get back data. It will be my last Google handset for a long while. Still deciding what to get next, leaning towards Samsung or OnePlus.

    I know this is for the 8 pro but man the modem on the 7 pro was such bullsh… All kinds of issues. So bad that even googles support gave in and offered a refund after 1 year.

    For a while I was considering the 8 pro, but I think their hardware is not close to par with the others yet and the new price is a joke for a pixel.

    Went for something else instead and won’t return to pixel for at least a few years.

    Overheating in summer (this is the soc not the modem but still), calls dropping constantly, bad call quality, with dual sim people couldn’t call me even though I had full reception. I got a replacement unit, created bug reports, changed providers etc… For me it was a piece of shit at the end of the day, and I’m a pixel fan :D (well was)

    No issues with my pixel 1 or 3, or the iPhone.

    I have the P8 pro with 4G. And I barely drop below 40 % during the day. And that with plenty of screen on time.

    I need to charge my Pixel 7a 2-3 times/day. I'm at 21%. My phone was at 100% 12 hours ago. Only 1h37m screen-on time.

    This is the worst battery life I've ever had from a phone. So, I'm not surprised the Pixel 8 is also bad.

    I'm going to sell this phone and get something else. This will be my first time ever selling a phone before running it into the ground; my last phone was a Pixel 3a I got 4 years from.

    I thought I'm worse off with my 5 year old Poco F1 which only has a half-day battery and I average a 3 hour SOT each charge session. I am quite surprised that the battery is worse as I expected the Tensor G2 to be more efficient than the SDM845.
