Has anyone experienced quick battery drain on MacBook Air M2? It is progressive even when it is on sleep mode?
I watched a video testing battery performance on various Air machines and it did well despite all the heavy use. Mine is a brand new machine. If I charge it and take it to office, it won't last me more than a few hours, making it necessary to carry the charger along with me, which is annoying. I wonder whether the problem is with my system or a general one. Apple tried to convince me that it fine based on the diagnostics. The system says the battery is functioning normal but they cannot explain the quick drain.

What does your Battery health look like in System Settings? I leave mine plugged in nearly all the time, so I can't offer any experience on how long the battery lasts after a full charge.
