Same here.. after this mew update in the morning.. my battery is down from 100% to 68% within 9 hours... Bluetooth off, wifi off, pulse ox off.. keeping my usual settings as before.. when i used to ha…
I use 100% battery in 20 hours on a Fenix 6s pro which I’ve only had for 10 days. Was fine before update
HI, I have just had the same thing. Updated to latest release last night with watch charged 100% and this morning its down to 62% afte sitting on my desk all night, no wifi running, no bluetooth running…
charged 100% this morning at 10am, now it is 95%. normally it takes 2 days down from 100% to 95%.
Mines been good since the release candidate.
I always turn off and on the watch a couple of times after an update, every time I have had a problem it's been caused by something third party.
Battery widget once! I don't install anything and use stock faces.
Restart doesn't work. I reset default settings (e.g. repair the watch with my phone). After resetting, it seems back to normal. You may want to try it.

The current best solution is to report this to Garmin, going to Garmin Support and starting a chat or sending an e-mail. They do not read the forums or at least they do not reply. If enough people report this issue may start working on it, and hopefully is only a SW issue.
I have sent an email to Garmin Beta team this morning after monitoring a 1,6% drain by hour instead of 0.5%.
x3 the normal usage.
Since I have put OFF Blue tooth and 45 minutes later it goes to 0.9%.
So BT seems again to be the culprit in my case... but not only as 0.9% is twice the normal usage.
Edit: after one hour on Airplane mode it is now at 0.2%...
So really that Bluetooth is the only difference between hour 1 and hour 2.
So far so good. I reset default settings (e.g. repair the watch with my phone) yesterday. After 1 day, it only drained 2% with the same usage and same set of apps installed. Please try to reset default settings (pretty much reset the watch to factory settings with installed apps still there. This is what I did for my 6x sapphire: power off the watch->restart by click the upper button on left side->while it boosting (e.g. loading maps) click the bottom button on the left side, you will see "reset default setting", select yes-> the watch will be reset and follow the instruction).

I will try that. :-)
Thank you. :-)

Is your phone Apple or Android? What version of Android, if it's that?
Mine's a Moto g8 plus running Pie.
