Big Sur Battery Draw

So ever since I updated my MacBook pro the battery life has gone to crap. I use to be able to work for 8+ hours. Now simply running Pages it goes from 100% to dead in less then 2 hours.

MacBook Pro 15″, OS X 10.11

big sur 11.5 battery drain I have 2018 Mac Book Pro 15". After Big Sur 11.5 although my battery is 80% full the machine will go to sleep and when woken report a flat battery, before after a few moments recovering. Prior to 11.5 no issues with machine at all. I am now running it on AC power all the time. Seems to be a bug to me. Ideas? Thanks

Battery Drain Monterey 12.5 Hi everyone, has anyone noticed a battery drain after updating to the last update Monterey 12.5? I did an update yesterday on my MacBook 14 Pro and since then I've noticed a battery draining which did not exist before. Checked all the applications and battery's performance and didn't find any issues. BTW, a short time after the update my MacBook freezed unexpectedly and then restarted automatically. It could be a problem related to the mentioned update Monterey 12.5?
