Short battery life on new Beta 13...

Not sure what others are experiencing, but after updating to new Beta on my Fenix 7X SS, my battery life was cut in half.  After 96 hours it dropped to 62%.  That would give me total life on a single charge of little over 10 days.  As said, about half of what I was experiencing before and now where close to Garmins 28 days....   Disappointing.

    So finally had to reset the watch fully as nothing else helped.  After reset, battery life is even worst and I'm not able to connect to BT on my iPhone.  Had to connect on my Pixel.  Battery now drains even faster. Disconnecting from BT does not make things better.  In 30 min I went down from fully charged to 95%.  This is crazy!  I have also COROS VERTIX 2 so maybe I'm spoiled with exceptional battery life, but this GARMIN and its battery life is a joke.

    Cant really blame Garmin can you ? I mean, you decided on your own to download beta software... Sounds like you dont know what that means.

    You are funny my friend.  This is not the first from recent GARMIN updates that has battery problems.  My battery significantly went down on 11.28 from previous versions and it was not a BETA, but rather an official update.  I was hoping that 13.09 and then 13.10 BETA will improve the battery.  One of the reasons I pulled the trigger.  Heck, people are going few versions back to get stable battery life.  GARMIN should focus first on battery life issues before working on new features.
