Good afternoon Mac en France,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand you are having some issues with the battery and performance of your MacBook Pro. Since this has happened "suddenly," what has changed? Have you recently updated your operating system or added software or devices to your setup? While in your current workflow, check the Activity Monitor to see how the applications and devices you are using affect affect the RAM and CPU on your system.
If you are seeing adverse affects on performance, try closing the application, or removing the device, then restart your computer and check the Activity Monitor again to isolate a possible cause.
The resources below explain how to address the issues you are having with battery performance:
Maximizing Battery Life and Lifespan - see the section "Tips for MacBook Air and MacBook Pro"
Take care.
