I am writing this at 1:50 am because I was somewhat awoken by the fact that there was light coming from my SP2 that I had shutdown before getting into bed. Turns out that it had booted automatically by itself and had stayed on for the past half hour. In fact, while verifying this with a battery report, it turns out that it had automatically booted in my bag after shutting it down at work and had stayed on from 2:00-9:00 pm cycling between being awake then sleeping for ~50 seconds before waking up again and repeating. This problem isn't new but was fixed sometime in Windows 8.1. Now, it's back with a vengeance. Interestingly, I didn't notice this problem over the last couple of days so it might be from an update that was released on August 14.
As such, the only way to guarantee that you'll have battery the next day is to leave it charging even if you shut it down since it might just turn itself back on again and then never go to sleep....
