WatchOS 10.2 drains battery in ~6 hours?

I upgraded my Series 9 to WatchOS 10.2 last night, and just got a low battery warning (at 10%). The watch was on the charger last night, and it's 7hours since it was removed.

Is anybody else seeing dismal battery life? Hopefully this is a fluke, but if it persists, then we have a real problem here.

Watch 6 running watchOS 10 has battery life issue Upon upgrading my watch to the latest watchOS (10.0), it now will not last a full day on a single charge.

Apple Watch Series 9 battery drains rapidly after updating to watchOS 11.5 The only difference between last night and the previous month of sleeping wearing my watch was the WatchOS update. I charge watch fully before bed. Then recharge late in the evening with about 30% remaining Last night I updated to the latest WatchOS: 11.5 on a Series 9. Woke to 40% battery remaining. No other behavior or settings changed. This is really a bad drain on the watch battery. It should not be happening. [Re-Titled by Moderator]

To be clear this was for an Apple Watch Series 7, barely 2 years old.
