Error after latest update

I have a fenix 5, and since the last software update via Garmin Express, I have an issue with my watch.

I charge it full to 100%. The battery uses about 10% per day, so it would normally last 8-9 days.

When it comes to around 45%, the battery start losing charge at about 1% per 10minutes. So within a few hours, the battery is completely dead.

Is there a way I can look logs from the watch to see if something specific triggers this battery issue?

After each firmware update there are people complaining about batterydraines and most of them can be solved by some sort of reset.

Isn't Garmin scratching it's head and wondering there might be something…

There is not a means to see more on your battery but you might be able to resolve your battery issue with any 1 of the following steps:

1) Power your watch off then back on again.

2) Soft Reset - hold down your top left power button until your watch shuts off, then let go.

3) Try the Secondary Master Reset half-way down the page - How to Reset My Garmin Outdoor Watch

Isn't Garmin scratching it's head and wondering there might be something wrong with their update process? Something isn't cleared properly? Something that might need fixing?
