My M1 MacBook Air is a brand new one(1 month old). The battery life was awesome until I downloaded and upgraded the OS to the macOS Monterey. The current battery drain is like down to 62% from 100% in just 3 hours. Is anyone else facing the same issue? What can be the steps to downgrade my macOS back to Big Sur?

For me, it's better but still not quite what it was.
I have the same problem with my Macbook pro-2018.
The problem continues in 12.2.1. And now I still suffer from 90% discharge and 100% recharge (connected to AC). Once a day this happens. I returned to Big Sur and the problem of daily discharges
PS: The app was called FluTooth as posted on a 9to5mac article on Feb7.
I'm not sure how it works fine on any device, having a tinny sound quality when the mic is engaged is a limitation for all Bluetooth devices AFAIK.
please help me in downgrading from macOS Monterey to Big Sur on macbook air M1 apple chip. thanks
Does anybody see any improvements in the new update@12.3?
Same with a macbook pro 16 ... just before the update at 100% it was 10 hours of autonomy and after the update 3 hours ...
After installing Monterrey 12.3.1 my battery have been draining exponentially like by doing light for such as browse on safari and some pdf docs it drains more than 30% in an hour of use.
