Forerunner 255 Music battery drain

I have had my watch for about 14 months and I was really impressed with the battery life. However, in the last two weeks I noticed that the battery is draining about 1 percent per hour. I have tried unpairing and deleting the connect app and reinstalling after restarting my watch and phone but that did not do any good. I also tried resetting my watch which did not do any good either. Any suggestions

I seem to have the exact same problem. Never had any issues with battery until two weeks ago. I've done more or less the same troubleshooting as mentioned above with no change.

Running software version 20.23.

Leaving my watch to fully discharge and then fully recharge it back again seems to have improved things significantly. Thank you!

This is the typical behavior of battery in modern devices, them needs a recalibration every few months, or when see a battery draining issue, so normally going to 10% of battery and doing a full charge solves this issues, phones, smartwatches, laptops, etc
