Problems with battery on new 16' MacBook Pro

Hello,


I've recently switched to a new 16 inch MacBook Pro (specs attached below) and noticing the battery is dying too fast. I am using it for my daily work and it lasts ~2 hours for running following apps:

1) Chrome - ~20 tabs. No websites with ads

2) Docker - 3 small containers running

3) Webpack - 2 processes.

4) VS Code - 1-2 projects.


CPU consumption is quite low, around 10% and RAM is around 25%.


Haven't found any information if it's normal, but the fact that is lasts the same amount of time as my old 13 inch retina MacBook Pro with "battery replacement required" note - doesn't make it look good. Considering the fact I do exactly the same work.


Is it normal for such type of work, or should I contact Apple support? The laptop is 3 weeks old.


Thank you for any help!

Andrew
