I'm looking for a solution to my Garmin Fenix ​​6 Pro battery draining extremely fast

how much days it lasts?

If your watch is in "Low Power" mode for most of the time but it's still draining super fast, it's a failing battery I'm afraid.

I don't think that is the case....see here:

forums.garmin.com/.../large-battery-drain-100-to-5-in-48-hours

For context see this where I rolled back to 15.20 here:

So clearly that wasn't a faulty battery issue as only firmware changed - went from draining within 2 to 5 days to over back to over 11 days with lots of GPS. Just rolling back to 15.20 and - bingo!

Lots of data to back this up in the second thread

This is more nuanced than 'failing battery' as the upvotes on the 2nd thread shows - that is a LOT of 'failing batteries' especially as alpha and beta users make up a tiny proportion of the user base ;)

Battery is now at 87% . Consumption of 13-14% in approximately 24 hours seems excessive to me. In the past, this rate was around 7-8%.  I will also try to use it with Battery saver mode. According to him, it will turn out that the problem is software or hardware. But 1-2 was fixed in the previous version. So I think the problem is software. Should I turn off the TrueUp feature?

My Fenix 6 is just over a year old and the battery only lasts about 4 hours while gps is on. It used to last for 2 days of 8 hours each. Twice a week gps usage for a year is only 50+ charge cycles! I'm running power saving mode throughout the week, and I'm not using a compass screen during outings.

Garmin said they would replace the watch, they haven't yet, and now they won't answer emails.

At this point I'm not a happy customer.

When I turn off the bluetooth connection with the phone, the beer gets better, but I still haven't been able to solve the problem. It is also unreasonable to buy such an expensive watch and turn off bluetooth. I still think the problem is software, not hardware.

Same problem for me.
I got a replacement (Wifi stopped working with my last one) just recently with v22.10.

With this new watch battery drains by ~20% per day with no recordings. With my old watch i nearly had the 21 days without recording anything.

Whoa, I have to try this one! 

¿se ha solucionado lo de la batería con el firmware 23 o sigue igual?
