battery life seems to drop fasterbatt

Hi everyone, 

I recently bought a Vivoactive 4 and during the first few weeks of using it, the battery lasted a lifetime. I went to Malaysia for 8 days and didn't need to recharge it once (turned the watch off at night though).

However, out of nowhere, the past week or so I noticed that my battery is draining a lot faster for no apparent reason. Just wearing it idle without doing any tracking, it's losing battery at about 1% per hour, that leaves about 4 days if used purely inactively. Doing any active tracking kills the battery even faster. I am not using any custom apps or watch faces or anything, everything is stock.

Anyone been experiencing this as well? Any idea what is causing this, or something I should check? I read that disabling Pulse Ox helps, but that feature has always been turned off.

Cheers!
