Battery Drain Fenix 7 Sapphore Solar 47mm v.20.22

good evening guys, I have owned a garmin fenix 7 Sapphire Solar 47mm for about 18 months, in the latest updates starting from 19.42 onwards up to the latest v. 20.22 I have had a very marked battery degradation. With v.19.34 I think it was the last to have a good performance, very optimized I was able to get to 19g, now I don't do more than 13-14g if I use the GPS in the space of 2h I lose 10%. But is it normal? Does all this happen to you too? Is it possible to go back to V.19.34? How can it be done? Thanks everyone.

Anyway I downgraded to the only official version I found here on the forum v. 17.28 now it's better it seems like we're back to the time when it could do 19g. Considering that I put it on about 2 days ago, I did 32h it consumed 3%. I'd say Excellent.

Fenix 7 pro sapphire solar 47 mm. I have had it for 12 months. I have charged it to 100%. Reset by holding light. In 24 hours a drop of 12%. Zero activity. Blood oxygen saturation off. From the claimed 19 days it made 15 days in 1 day. On active days the watch won't even last a week. I feel that solar charging with such battery consumption is more than a useless feature.
