The battery life on my 2017 M3 has dropped significantly in the last week or so. Initially, I was able to get almost 10 hours of it, now I am happy to get 5. I primarily use it on the train to surf the web and RDP with RoyalTSX to my work computer.

- My usage pattern hasn't really changed.
- Didn't install any major new software.
- Activity monitor energy tab doesn't show anything out of the ordinary (Safari is main consumer, but noting crazy).
- Coconut battery not shown anything weird (I am on 18 cycles now, design capacity is at 97.5%)

Does anybody have a clue what is going on? How can I figure what is impacting my battery life?
