New update for Apple Watch Series 9

My watch is maybe year and half old. Just updated to newest software. And the battery is going down like crazy. Battery health is at 93. I have unpaired several times and still same thing. It stays warm when charging and when off the charger. My iPhone is 14 pro max I also updated it too. Have reset it. Hard to believe that the battery is already shot. At 93 health and all of sudden going down that fast. Any thoughts??

Did you also try to unpair the watch and set it up as a new device, without using the latest backup, in case the backup data is damaged?

You will only lose your created Watch faces and may have to activate the cards in your Wallet app again.
