Which one? There’s huge variety of ESP32 modules out there. I’ve been using various since introduction (and before that, the 8266) and don’t recall ever running into this.
Do you have some links to share?
The claimed power draw in the data sheets with the modem on is sustained over 200 ma. Part of the problem is that the modem doesn’t have granular control. If you want BLE, which should only consume a few ma, you have to also turn on wifi, which needs a ton of power.
