I do understand the concern with battery drain. And this is something that Garmin is concerned with addressing as well. It is not a question of how many people are reporting this, but since it doesn't…

Quite simply: Garmin has not created a ticket. Obviously…
I am now experiencing battery drain for the first time after latest update
Option is: start from the beginning.
I have made my experience with my epix pro 51mm after an beta-update early this year, after that all my health data went dramatic down and stays down over days! I also tried the first steps wit restart, hard reset, reload software, nothing helped.
At the end I have tried so much that my watch did not come to live after a hard reset, only the start-up screen was visible, no other reaction, it stays for ours, no switch off possible, nothing ...
The only option was to let the watch run until the battery was empty and see what happens then ...
But next morning, over night, the watch has restartet!
And now I started carefully from the beginning: removed from GE and removed GC from my mobile, the started with reinstalling last software with holding start-back together with light buttons and wait for the first beep a.s.o. ..
I did this twice. After that I connected to GE on my pc, had to add as new device, that worked, next I installed GC on my phone and added my watch, also that worked. I only checked, if the Golf and std. outdoor maps are there and step for step I organized my activities and apps, nothing from CIQ, in between restarts of my watch, if this keeps working.
After this basic organizing I used only Golf, walking and cycling for a week, all was working fine. After that periode I re-organized my watch also with CIQ apps and watch faces and since that time I did not had any problems withy my watch, all is working fine, no exceptional battery drain, no unwanted restarts, did a lot of beta updates and now on 18.14 ...
with the battery app I keep an eye on the battery, but it works fine, since January with GPS 2h/day a drain of roundabout 10%:
