Battery back-up issue post update to Mac OS 12.3.1

After I have updated MacBook Pro to OS 12.3.1, the battery back-up has reduced very significantly. Earlier, I used to get back-up of around 10 Hours and now with the same operation pattern, I am getting backup of 6 hours only. Need solution against the same or also would like to downgrade to earlier version Mac OS.

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 12.3

You've gotten support; you have an Apple recommended solution. Did you try it? What was the result?
