I know there are already some threads opened for this topic but it's quite hard to find some pics for thermals/battery usage through long discussions pages.

I start:
16" M1 Pro /16GB RAM/512GB SSD
Thermals: between 45 and 50C degrees
Battery usage: between 7.5-8.5hrs
Used for: mainly Safari (up to 10 tabs opened). + notes, mail, messages, discord opened.

I keep getting' this values since day 1.
Im kind of disappointed, as on Youtube/Forums, people are getting' 10+ hrs of usage.
What about you?
 
Don't know for sure because I haven't run it down, but guessing at least 14. On day 1, I used it 8 hours or so and it was at 52% when I charged it again.

That’s a lot!! Almost twice than mine.
 
Need to include screen brightness too.

If you're concerned about your battery life, have a look at Activity Monitor Energy tab to see where the power's going.
 
Brightness: 6-7 levels below MAX
No big “consumer” in activity monitor.
