Apple Watch Battery Drain Issues after Update

Since updating to WatchOS 10.0.1, the watch battery charges only to 80% overnight and the battery drains more quickly than before the update. I also updated my iPhone 14 pro to iOS 17 around the same time. Would this impact the watch battery?

Here’s my situation today:

wake up at 6 am: watch is at 100%
get in car at 7:20 am: watch is at 91%
sit motionless for four hours
at 11:30, walk around for approximately two hours (no workout being tracked)
sit motionless for another two hours
by 3:30 pm, watch is at 56%, having only been looked at 6-7 times. There were no functions engaged, only one alert shown, no workouts tracked, and WiFi is turned off.
since I have to leave the office at 4 and drive for about 3 hours, I fully expect that by 7:30 pm tonight my watch will be dead, having not done anything at all today.

I have updated my phone OS also.

Before this update, my watch lasted until 12 am-1 am, which included a minimum 2 hours of workout tracking and many activations.

this is an utter joke. Nobody can use a watch that can’t last 10 hours even when it’s not tracking anything.
