Apple Watch Series 4 Battery Drain

I Recently upgraded my Apple Watch Series 4 to Version 10.5 and immediately started to see a decrease in my watch’s battery life. Under the assumption the next upgrade would fix this issue I upgraded my Apple Watch Series 4 to Version 10.6.1. No noticeable change for the better occurred. Has this issue been resolved to anyone’s knowledge? Why did the software version upgrades limit my battery life. I was enjoying not having to maneuver through life with my Apple Watch on my wrist longer than the time it now has to spend on the charger. I am open to any troubleshooting recommendations.

@Ingo2711 I have tried everything from unpairing my Apple Watch from my iPhone 15 Pro and selecting “Forget this device”, to factory resetting my Apple Watch and re-pairing it back to my iPhone as a new device. I have performed this approximately 3-4 times already. Still, the Apple Watch will not maintain a long lasting battery life. From a full night’s charge I always experience the Apple Watch battery drain and power off after 4-5 hours, even faster when I am working out and trying to record my fitness progress. I love Apple but in this moment I feel as though I was swindled in a way. I’ve literally had no issue with this watch before the 10.5 Version upgrade and I am sure the data on my watch can prove it.
