I could have sworn the last time someone had this problem it was the desktop command widget, but that's just off the to of my head.

As suggested, the best bet is to use top in x terminal or Conky, to see EXACTLY what is using up the CPU like that.

I think the blue duck is eating all your CPU

Seriously, try removing desktop command widget and see if it improves. The other killer for my battery was the facebook widget.

The first line of the top output looks unhealthy indeed. Anybody has idea what that could be?

Anyways, the status are looks clogged with icons, maybe you need to uninstall some of the apps...

I had the same problem with my N900 since last Thursday/Friday. I didn't install anything before that.

I charged my phone until the green light was on (unplugged at around 9:30 PM). This morning my phone was death (email checked every 30 minutes but no other usage). Usually when battery level drops about 10% during the night for me.

dbus is the system used for notifications (allowing applications to respond to system changes, popup messages, etc). From the look of the top three apps, I'd say something on the desktop is continuously updating.

You have 3G on all night, which won't help. Switch to 2G, it should be enough to retrieve emails every 30 mins. I also set my screen brightness to 1 and ensure the device is locked.

There's a thought - does BatteryEye itself cause continuous DBUS notifications?

Even on 3G, my battery usually drops 10% overnight with only email checked every 15 minutes.

I changed my email checked to 30 minutes and the battery was dead before 6 this morning from a fully charged at 9 PM last night. Something wrong is going on here.
