Apple Watch Battery Draining suddenly after Software Update

My iPhone updated to IOS 17.4.1 last night and all of a sudden my Apple Watch is losing charge today after barely 4hours. I haven’t used it any differently to usual, haven’t actually updated the watch at all but am at a loss on what to do now. I’d love to roll back the IOS update if that’s possible and the culprit but surely Apple has some accountability to sort out the consequences of their software updates? All and any help is appreciated

Apple Watch Series 7, watchOS 10

Same issue. Watch was 100% at 7am, completely dead by 11.30am. Was chatting to Apple support to no avail. I explained it was only occurring after the update. Was told there was nothing wrong and asked was I suggesting there was a correlation between the update and the issue.
