Fenix 5 battery life questions

I've had my Fenix 5 for a few years now and the battery is starting to feel less than it used to be. Of course this is expected with age. Is it reasonable that I'm using about 80-85% of my battery over a week's time with always on heart rate, always connected to my phone and roughly 3.5 hours of running with gps+glonass?

Also I noticed that this morning when I finished my run it said I had 20% battery but sometime between then and now it has gone up to 22%. What is going on with that?

In the last week, my battery has gone from having to charge every week to every few hours... I charged it fully this morning and 3 hours later it was at 14%. I have no idea what's going on and I've contacted Garmin, waiting for a response. It looks to be a firmware upgrade issue (from what I've read online) though no fixes have been sorted yet. I'm not sure how long it will take.

If you believe it to be a firmware issue then may be follow what others have done!! do a full reset. may be redo the upgrade.... If it does not resolve the issue the n contact garmin support... this is pretty much same advise you will get here or anywhere else.....

Yep - did full factory reset this weekend. Re-did the full thing. Also contacted Garmin support, still waiting on an answer. I can't wear it anymore, it dies too quick.
