I noticed an increase during sleep. Im at 87 hours 43 minutes with 46% left. But only about 3 hours of actual usage. Been using my Air the past few days to decide if I am going to keep it.
Havent used it since yesterday around 9pm and only lost 5%. Thats half what I was losing in a 24 hour period.
Edit: Opened the Pro up today and its at 105 hours, 8 minutes with 42% remaining. Loss of 4% in 17 1/2 hours. They definitely fixed the standby time.

Overall battery life seems on par with what I was experiencing before, but I will say it seems like they may have fixed the bug that was causing battery drain when the laptop is sleeping, I was losing 8-12% battery over night from a 100% charge, now it only drains 1-2% while in sleep mode overnight.
I do believe they did a fix on this update. I even notice my projected usage is much larger as well and my watts are down. Nice upgrade for battery life finally.
Im glad they finally fixed the standby drain issue. I’ve had my refurb 2017 MBP for over a year with the drain issue and it bugged me a lot.
Interestingly enough my 2014 and 2012 MBPs I had before that didn’t have the drain issue. My 2017 MBP had the standby battery drain issue pretty much from day one.
