Since updating to the 10.15.6 version, my brand new MacAir loses all battery charge even when asleep.
When placed in 'sleep' with cover closed the charge would hold for days. Now it is completely discharged by morning.
You have something active in the background even when your Mac is asleep which is draining the battery OR you are just not going into stand by mode.
Open system preferences and get into the Power Settings and under Power Adapter DISABLE Power Nap. See if that resolves the issue. If it does resolve the issue then we know that there is an activity running in the background that could be the culprit.

Great idea! Let me try that as well. apple support suggested I reset the SMC as well. Itried that yesterday and no change. Let me try your idea and I'll update. Weird that all was fine till the latest update. This is a brand new macAir.
Thanks again.
You are welcome.
