In 10 months with this watch, battery consumption has increased, if i remember from fw 13. I used to use watch for 3 weeks, now, 2 weeks max. My usage of watch is the same, nothing changed in my trainings.
Anyone else experienced this?

Have you changed Pulse ox settings? It consumes quite a lot of battery.
21 days? Are you sure? 6 Pro always displays 14days. 21days runtime display are for the 6X models
14 days is normal for a Fenix 6 Pro.
I noticed also that it's lasting less than at the start. But I'm also using more sensors during my runs (and they use battery). During everyday life, the battery use can really change, I suspect it has to do with the firmware updates, with how many notifications I'm receiving and if I'm trying new watchfaces. If I reboot the watch from time to time, especially after a run, I find it quite stable at a very acceptable battery use (<5% a day without a run). I'm using a Fenix 6x.
At 100% charged:
On my Fenix 6 Pro (bought in August 2019)
I got 21days when Blue Tooth is off.
14 days when Blue Tooth is on.
32 days with my battery saver settings.
Yes, i have pictures from last summer

Pic from last summer, 70% and two weeks, with 100% i got 3 weeks
You show an IQ widget. Not the official specification from Garmin. 0.22% / h shows that you are most likely also using a downloaded watchface. A build in Garmin watchface does not require that much battery. How many days does the clock (Garmin information - not the IQ widget) show when you deactivate bluetooth and pulse ox?
The official specification by Garmin for the fenix 6 is up to 14 days.
Just to avoid misunderstandings. I understand you have a 6 Pro. None 6. If you mean because you have a 6 Pro, you can accept the specification of the 6x, it should be noted that the X has a larger housing. So also a bigger battery. For your Pro you have to look in the fenix 6 column.
Another question: have you changed the brightness? That also changes the estimated runtime. It doesn't matter whether you use the lighting at all. A change in the timeout of the lighting also changes the days. If I change the timeout from 8 to 30 seconds with my current battery level of 47%, the estimated runtime goes down from 14 to 11 days. It doesn't matter whether I use the lighting or not. It is only estimate based on the setting.
