Battery draining fast after the latest upgrade?

Hello,


My Apple Watch battery used to last 36 hours before the latest upgrade (WatchOS 7.6.2 18U80) now it dies in 12 hours! Is someone else experiencing this?

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

FWIW, in some cases, unpairing the watch, completely erasing it, then pairing and restoring the backup will resolve the battery draining issue after an update. (Simply unpairing and pairing again may not work.)

Also, some people have found that simply waiting a few days after an update resolves the battery draining problem.
