MacBook air m2 macOS Sonoma Battery Drain

it's been a month since I updated my MacBook Air M2 to macOS Sonoma. and since then I've been having issues with the battery. before Sonoma the battery was normal, I go on a full workday not thinking about charging. but since the update the battery holds about 4 hours from 80% to 20%. and that is OUTRAGEOUS! keep in mind I bought this Mac on AUG 11th 23!

I contacted Apple support and nothing!

Is anyone else having battery drain issues with macOS Sonoma?

MacBook Air, macOS 14.1

Hey i was also facing the same issue ,

As i got upgraded to Sonoma it was taking lots of battery and even I noticed a bit of heating as well,

Then i decided to downgrade my OS back to Ventura and i can clearly see the difference of my battery performance.

Try downgrading the os , make sure to take a time machine backup and then go in recovery option then erase your data and then plug your ventura bootable pendrive and install ventura from there.
