Hello,

since a couple of days, my MacBook Pro M1 2020 (purchased Sep 21) has been draining the battery a lot faster than usual. I used to have well over 8 hours of battery life with light safari browsing and some emails with Spark. However, I now get about 30% drain per hour. Activity monitor has no significant apps showing impact on energy. Otherwise, rebooted the Mac, 12.4 latest update, and battery health is 98%. I have 133 cycles in system information.

Anyone have any ideas?
