Why does my Mac use battery power when sleeping

The battery on my Macbook Pro was showing 92% when I put it to sleep. I reactivated it 6 hours later and it only had 42% capacity left. What can I do to eliminate this battery draining?

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 13.3

You can shut it down, but even that will not completely stop a Mac battery — or any battery — from discharging.
