Big sur power consumption

[biggie!]

The moment I got the Big sur update I started noticing my temperatures started to rise
- My processor was literally doing nothing
- Was barely using my ram
- Only had like 2 tabs of chrome and Spotify open
- But my battery was going down fast and my fans were ramping up and just as I finish typing this thread my battery just went from 21 to 19 only three hours and it dropped to 20

On Catalina I would have at least 40% after like 6hrs of usage at school and I'm not even halfway through the school day and I'm scrounging for a charger lol

kinda lengthy sorry but Big Sur is draining my battery and turning my processor into a mini hot plate
---> anyone having the same issues??

I run Big Sur on a mid-2014 13" Pro (upgraded from Catalina) and it's running quietly and smoothly. It does drain battery faster than Catalina but my battery has over 1,000 cycles.

This is quite often the case as well for early dev betas - they have all been the same, I can only presume that it's the additional logging and other stuff for error checking that the OS does at these stages - tends to get faster as time goes on.
