Battery drains with 24.10 on Fenix 5

I was using 22.40 update and everything was perfect with respect to battery. However when I updated to 24.10 the battery drains faster every hour. Previously per day it would reduce 4-5% with just smart watch mode. No GPS or BT. However now it is draining fast.

Will there be a fix for this issue in future? How can I revert to previous version of software update?

Looks like Garmin is forcing me to leave with this battery drain by updating a buggy software. I was happy with previous version.

kindly advice.
