Series 8 watch os 10.3.1 battery drain???

I have noticed in the last week that my Series 8 watch battery drains extremely quickly without workout activity. I have read several blog posts saying the latest OS is the culprit, so I followed their suggestions of removing widgets, turning off the background app refresh...I even unpaired the watch, completed reset it, then repaired. No improvement. My battery health is at 94% so I know it can't be that. Anybody else experiencing the same???

Watch OS 10.3.1 Battery Drain I'm running a practically brand new (purchased in January) Apple Watch 9 on 10.3.1. Battery has been absolutely terrible since purchase. I'm typically up at 6am and in bed between 10 and 11 with watch charging overnight. Most days, the AW8 was between 50 and 60% at bed time. With the 9, I'm usually getting warnings before 10pm telling me to charge. This morning, the watch went from 100% to 75% in under 30 minutes after I took it off the charger. I've closed all apps, done a hard restart, changed watch face, and other things I've read would fix the issue. If they work at all, it's only temporary. When will this issue be fixed? From my reading, this has been going on for some time now.

WatchOS 10 on Watch Series 5 - Draining Battery Ever since updating my Watch Series 5 to OS 10, the battery has been draining extremely quickly. Normally my battery would last all day, from waking up till bed (15+ hours), now the battery won't even last 12 hours! Any suggestions?

Apple Watch OS 10.1 Battery Drain Can someone from Apple comment on when a fix will be available? It's obvious the battery drain is not an isolated incident, even among those of us with the latest and greatest hardware. The watch is completely unusable. Even in low power mode it only lasts a few hours. An ETA would be nice, since most of us will not be able to use the watch.
