Massive battery drain and heating issues after updating to WatchOS 10.4

Are there a lot of people experiencing significantly faster battery drain after updating to watchOS 10.4? Along with significant heating issues? My just months old Series 9 goes down about 20 percent PER HOUR. Normally I could get through a 10 hour day with at least 60% left, maybe 50%. Gets so much warmer than usual with standard use. Super annoying. Any fixes? Hopefully Apple fixes this with another software update....

WatchOS 7.5 drains battery I updated my AW 4 to WatchOS 7.5 in the afternoon yesterday. The update went well. At lunch today I took a 50 minute walk and just now, at 1440h in the afternoon, the watch hit 10%. The battery is basically new and I normally have 60% when I go to bed so something's afoot. Has anyone else noticed increased battery drain in 7.5? Cheers Philip
