Apple Watch Series 9 battery won't hold a charge

I have an Apple Watch series 9, I have had it for right at a year. It only holds a charge for a few hours. I have sent it in for repair and they said there were no issues. It is still will not hold a charge! I don’t know what to do next

OK you explain to apple support that the battery is discharging itself at a rapid rate, include a printout of this thread, my user tip and the screenshot.

If you are out of warranty cover then all it will do is help you get the battery replaced for the usual $99 fee, which they will not normally approve with battery health greater than 79%.

If it is in warranty or you pay for applecare+ it should be free.

So after 2 weeks, 2 senior advisors, several calls and trouble shooting galore, I am told it’s going to cost me $300+ to send in my watch for a second time to have it looked at! I was told by one senior advisor that battery drain for no reason seems to be a common issue with the series 9 watch. They have found absolutely nothing that is causing it on my end. I have had it 1 year and 1 month. It’s complete BS that it quit holding a charge overnight and tons of other people are having the same issue and nothing is being done!!!! I have always been an Apple user, this is beyond frustrating and ridiculous!!!!!
