uneven battery drain with the airpods pro

Hi, I bought the AirPods pro on release day and I have noticed an uneven battery drain. I would use them with my iPhone only for music — no calls. The right bud is draining faster than the other (72% vs 59% after around 2-3 hours of usage). Is this normal? Anyone else having this problem?

Airpod Pro Battery Drain I recently bought AirPods pro about a week ago and I’m having battery issues...why do the battery drain so quickly when they just in my ear(s) and without talking to via phone or listening to music. I put them on the morning and had no activities with 100%, then it was suddenly down to 40% in 2 hours.

It looks like this firmware update might have resolved the dancing exclamation issue. Thx for the update :)

I have the latest firmware installed, currently my left pod is at 53% and the right at 74% so firmware isn't fixing it.

I’m having a similar issue on mine. Noticed right after taking them out of the case one of them shows different charge. For instance 100% vs 60%.

Then the number starts to get even while out of the case and get around 99%. Both of them. It’s weird watching the info climbs alone without being charging. I guess it’s an issue with the percentage info and not with the battery charge.
