My Macbook air M5 battery is draing too fast. It went from 80% (I charge it up to 80 max) to 50% in about 2 hours of medium use like 4 tabs on safari and vscode. At that point I checked activity monitor and it was showing only 2 hours remaining on 45% charge!!
Macbook is not even 2 months old.
Bro i had same issue My cpu idle was 10%, Malicious virus name xmrig was installed and it takes so much cpu usage lol,Go to activity monitor and cpu usage And see which take more CPU usage first.I deleted that files now it works fine.
To the OP and ALL those Affected:
This seems to be catching on --so, report it to Apple...

So, what's your Mac model and macOS version? To find out, go to Apple menu > About this Mac... Have you ever installed an update it, or even just updated it? Keeping this plugged in, try a macOS Reisntall.
