My Instinct has gone from needing to be charged every two weeks to every two days. This started after the Garmin update on 4/26/21 (13.2). Garmin support gave me these tips, but hasn’t solved the issue. Anyone having the same issue? I use an iPhone.

My local support told me to wait for the update. They are also looking to replace the watch but stock will take time to come.
Waiting for the firmware update does not seem very confidence inspiring right now.
The thing about such problems is that it can occur very randomly, so its very unpredictable. Its like something in the watch is trapped in something that is energy intensive.
