I started checking the charge level on my Apple Watch 4 after a full charge. No activity on the watch.

Hello! Multiple factors could be affecting your Apple Watch's battery life, such as Bluetooth and how active you are. Read the 'Tips for Apple Watch' section in this article to find out how to preserve your watch's battery throughout the day: Batteries - Maximizing Performance - Apple.
As you mentioned, depending on when you bought your Apple Watch, its battery could be ageing. This makes the battery less capable of holding a charge. You can check your watch's battery health by following these steps:
If the maximum capacity is less than 80%, it's recommended that you get the battery replaced: https://getsupport.apple.com
Take care!
I just updated to 9.5.1 this morning. Hopefully the battery life will go back to normal.
Similar to you based on past battery drain on Apple Watch series 8 prior to 9.5 update and which I think 9.5.1 corrected, I’m now back to normal drain 15 hrs (6am-9pm) yesterday using 27%.
I have an apple watch 7 SE, same problem.. after updating to OS 9.5.1 the battery started dying in less than 7 hours..
I have a series 8 and my battery doesn't last more than a work day.
I think it’s WatchOS 9.5 problem. I’m using Watch Ultra, typically battery lasts 2-3 days, after software update, battery drains in 1 day. I just did restart, unpair and hopefully it will help.
A quick update to this thread: I have unpaired the Watch Ultra, reset and restarted many times unfortunately, and then paired it back, battery works great again as usual.
Exactly same configuration and issues

i have watch 6 and after updating to watch is 9.5.1 battery drain in less than 12 hours. Earlier it gave me full 24 hours!! Any temp fixes until permanent fix is released?
Thanks! This finally worked for me also! Ugh, such a pain. They need to do better testing. We shouldn’t be required to completely un-pair and restart from scratch for an update.
I am keen to know where I can get WebOS, I have never heard of this.
I'm having the same issue. Prior to the 9.5 upgrade I would get ~16 hrs on a single charge, now since I upgraded to 9.5 I can't even make it 12 hrs without the battery dying.
Using waaay more power
On my Apple Watch Utra, since the update to 9.5.2, the battery life has been cut in half! Battery health still shows at 100% but I have gone from 2 days to only 1 day between charges. Angry!
Mine also. I have a SE which I purchased in 2022.
