Apple watch battery draining really quickly after last update

After the recent update this week, my Apple Watch battery is draining really fast. Used to last all day and now is done by about 2pm, sometimes earlier

If the battery drains too fast after an update, see all the replies to:

WatchOS 7.5 battery drain - Apple Community

FWIW, in some cases, unpairing the watch, completely erasing it, then pairing and restoring the backup will resolve the battery draining issue after an update. (Simply unpairing and pairing again may not work.)

Also, some people have found that simply waiting a few days after an update resolves the battery draining problem.
