Ever since I updated my 2017 13 inch Macbook Pro to Ventura late last year the battery drain has been much worse than previous versions of Mac OS. I notice this both when I'm using it but also when its asleep or even off. I've not been able to resolve this issue despite several re-installs. My battery was replaced last year by Apple. But even so, I have to charge the laptop 3x a day. It lasts 3-4 hours on the battery using normal "wireless web". IIRC it was rated 8-10 when new. Its unclear to me why this would be an issue now. Has anyone else had this problem? How was it solved?
 
Your battery isn’t new any more. It’s probably end of life and requires replacement. Let Apple look at it as it is still probably under warranty from last year.
