Fenix 7 problem battery 19.41

good evening everyone, after installing the latest version of software 19.41 I noticed that the battery does not have a long life, contact that with previous versions I had an average of 5.5 - 6% / 24h without activity, now in the space of 5 days I have consumed 48% of battery without doing any activity an average of almost 10%. What could be the problem, the watch is about 1 year old. Can you downgrade? version 19.28 or earlier were much better.

Fenix 7 pro user here. I have the exact same problem, the updates are getting worse and worse by the day. I charged my watch to 80%, the day after it dropped 10-12%. The weird thing Is after day 2 the drain isn’t as bad, only 5-8% this is a thing I can’t wrap my head around.

I have send Garmin a message, in the hope they pass it on to the developers.

Hopefully this battery drain issue will be fixed in the next update

We have a general advice here. After any update, reboot the watch, so that any update process is finalized or any hardware awaka during the update is switched off and not running unnecessary.

the watch after the update, restarts itself, but that's not the point because I also restart it every now and then, but this version 19.41 is scandalous in terms of consumption, I charged my watch on 12/30 at 100% now we are at 01/06 and I'm at 17%. It doesn't last at all. We should go back to version 19.2x they were better.

And yeah, we restart it after its own restart.

I always do it like this after an update, however after the last update the battery drains faster than usual

this undocumented and recommended process by Garmin, is incomprehensible.

This is the only vendor i know that is recommending to force restart its hardware after an upgrade ........... if this is recommended then it should be done automatically during the System upgrade.
