Just updated the software and now it seems that the fan is running constantly on high draining my battery. The fan rarely if at all ran on high previously to this. Anyone know of a fix and or having the same issue?!?!?
See how apps affect Mac performance, battery runtime, temperature, and fan activity - Apple Support
Also please refer to this excerpt from Keep your Mac notebook within acceptable operating temperatures:
"If your Mac notebook gets warm even when it isn’t doing tasks that require intensive calculations, or if it has fans that run for a long time, use Activity Monitor to check CPU activity. Look for malfunctioning processes that can put a significant load on the CPU, and check whether Spotlight is indexing your hard drive. You might also need to reset the System Management Controller (SMC) on your MacBook."

I have the same issue, just updated and my MacBook air's fans start running constantly, and I am just working as usual, and the temperature don't cool down with nothing. Hope new update fix that, because it's imposible to work like that.
Same problem here with my MacBook Air (2019).
I have the same problem MacBook Air (2019) So the real question is what do we do I have tried everything apple suggests. Ever since BIGSUR update my battery drains and the fan runs constantly.
