After the Sequoia 15.0 (24A335) update, I am experiencing very fast battery drain on the computer. Moreover, there is a fan problem that never stops when the computer is charged. The fan rotates so strong that the computer seems to explode.
MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 15.0
I had the same issue, when streaming a church service, the battery would drain even though the Mac is attached to the power adapter, and never had this problem before the upgrade to Sequoia. That was version 15.0 of Sequoia. I updated to the latest/greatest 15.1 and the problem has resolved. The battery stays fully charged while streaming.
Try that first before worrying about battery health, third party power hogs, etc. If things were fine before going to Sequoia they should remain fine, now that we're beyond a dot-zero version.

Most likely there is some kind of incompatible 3rd party system modification software that is running out of control.
Building on the previous posting by @etresoft
Run the suggested application

Right now, this is very little actionable information to work with

Try again
In Good Faith, the report would look much like this
All your 😎
Same! No matter the actual load being performed, the fan is maxed out and the computer is running really hot. Seriously considering downgrading unless there is a dot update to address this.
