Apple Watch series 4 battery drain

I have an 8 month old series 4 Apple Watch. The battery used to last over 48 hours. Suddenly it doesn’t last even 12. I’ve tried unpairing, which supposedly backs it up and erases it, and repairing. That did nothing to help. Other suggestions?

To understand Apple Watch performance and its relation to your battery, see:

Apple Watch Battery and Performance - Apple Support


“Battery life” is the amount of time your device runs before it needs to be recharged. “Battery lifespan” is the amount of time your battery lasts until it needs to be replaced. Maximize both and you’ll get the most out of your Apple devices, no matter which ones you own. See the "Tips for Apple Watch" section in:

If the battery drains too fast after an update, see the replies to:
