MacBook Pro Battery Life Issue

Hello everyone,

I've been experiencing some concerning battery life problems with my MacBook Pro (model and OS version). Over the past few weeks, I've noticed that the battery drains much faster than it used to, even with minimal usage and no resource-intensive tasks running while browsing Bella Canvas T-Shirts. It's becoming quite inconvenient as I find myself needing to charge it multiple times a day.

I've tried some basic troubleshooting steps like resetting the SMC and checking for any rogue applications consuming power, but the issue persists. I keep my software updated, and I haven't made any recent changes to my system that could explain this sudden drop in battery performance.

Has anyone else encountered a similar problem recently? If so, did you find any solutions to improve battery life on your MacBook Pro? I would greatly appreciate any suggestions or insights you may have to offer.

Thank you in advance for your help!
